Popular Post KrAzY Posted December 3, 2018 Popular Post Share #1 Posted December 3, 2018 Over the weekend the WoK and I went to San Antonio to get away from the kids while the in-laws are in town. Here are two pics of the Alamo at night. Our hotel over looked the park it sits in, and what an amazing place to visit. It is a shame that more of the fort is not standing, but it is great to see they have the hole structure marked out on the ground through the city to let you see the size it was. It is also hard to tell, but the Texas flag was being flown at half mast 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was the church (Alamo), hospital/gun storage/whatever 8'wide by 50'long building, a souvenir shop people in the 1900s then match the property, some of the original walls.. if my math is right from the diagrams and walking around.. half the structure was knocked down to build the city around it. Least the lady that owned the property was able to hold her ground and keep it for a historical landmark. 38 minutes ago, smudge said: The original was really big? I did not know that.

BTW, I do not think PeeWee's bike was ever in the basement of the Alamo. I think Francis Buxton had Madame Ruby lie to PeeWee to put him on a fake trail. I cannot prove this though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
