Have you ever seen the movie The Alamo starring John Wayne? I grew up watching John Wayne movies. I can watch a movie a few times and the second time watching it I can pick up things I missed the first time around, I know movies don't get things always right.
I'm going to start with the outside walls of The Alamo, we were totally fascinated with the structure of the compound.
Here is a beautiful statue that was erected in memory of the heroes that had sacrificed their lives at the Alamo, commemorating 100 years.
I hope I didn't overload you with photos here.
Hope Y'All have an awesome day today.
my sis was enamored with seeing the alamo - because of the john wayne movie. :)

I went there when I was seven but don't remember much. Great shots, Judy.

It was a bit of a shock to find the Alamo right in the middle of town, especially after the movies:)

Interesting. It's a place I haven't been but would like to.

I DO remember the Alamo and Davy Crockett (king of the wild frontier). I visited the Alamo many, many years ago and was surprised at how small the fort actually was.

Not so much John Wayne, but certainly Davy Crocket, King of the Wild Frontier--killed him a bar when he was only three. I believe it was an early Disney production. What little boy didn't have the coonskin cap? I've not been the Alamo, but it is on my list. I am enjoying the pictures. Such amazing sculpture.
