The Alamo, San Antonio, TX October 4, 2005

You have to visit the Alamo if you're in San Antonio. The downtown area surrounds this small compound. The Alamo really shows its age next the highrise buildings. There's a lot of reading at the Alamo so take your time. There is also a film covering the battle at the IMAX theatre next door. We would recommend seeing the film to give you a sense of the battle. Some very brave men gave their lives for freedom.
