The Alamo is wonderful. It is a beautiful place that takes me back about 170 years. I remind my children the story of the struggle and tell them to remember to be repsectfully quiet while in the shrine. Too bad that the very thing that brings tourists to San Antonio is responsible for the Alamo having lost for much land to the sideshows and hotels. ...

Want to go to a place where thousands of people died in a suicidal battle??? Then the alamo is for you!! Adding to the interest are the historical figures who fought in the David vs Goliath but Goliath wins battle. Davy Crockett, Daniel Boone and the inventor of chewig gum the crossdesser Santa Anna.

What kind of crap is that? 1) Of course it's touristy-it's the ALAMO for crying out loud 2)where did you think the Alamo would ...

The fort is much smaller than you would imagine, which in my opinion makes what happened there even more impressive. The historical value of the battle that took place there is larger than life. To take your kids (especially if their Texans) there makes a lasting impression, that they will never get from books. I grew up in San Antonio and heard ...

There are two main reasons to visit San Antonio. One, Riverwalk, and the second, The Alamo.

The Alamo really lets you see what these people went through, and what they had to defend the fort.

And to walk into the main building, and learning about more of the history, really makes it sink in. The children, and women, caught in the side ...

I liked how nice ity was and it was not boring i though it was so cool seeing were every one fought and how we say the line
