At the time I was new to Texas, when I saw the real Alamo. It seemed very commercial in 1972. Not as reverent as I expected.

My last trip to the Alamo the whole area was torn up.

Hoping for the best for the area and the Alamo.

I visited Bracketsville, Texas and the site of the movie set of the Alamo. It was very interesting and I was glad I visited. It is closed now.

Very brave men.

I salute them all.
To have a better idea of what things were like back in the day, seeing the San José Mission gives you more of an idea of what a functioning San Antonio mission was like.
Went there late in the day, opened the door and they were having first communion. Found a seat and stayed. Memorable.
