02.06.19- the Alamo

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This picture and the building portrayed in it has nothing to do with the Alamo, except that you’ll see this building as you enter San Antonio. This facility is as big as a FedEx or Sam’s distribution centers. It’s the “Food Pantry” distribution center for san Antonio, Texas. It is unbelievably big.

Above right are the garrisons, but at the time of the battle this area was use to store ammunition. To thlef is the Alamo gift Shop. Below is a monument dedicated to the heroes of the Alamo, over two-hundred in number. Below to the right is a picture of the Oak Tree planted at the Alamo in commemoration of the fallen. 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Above is a blow-up of the list of names on the monument. Bowie and Crockett were the two I knew about the most. Below Carla is talking to a Texas Ranger asking him for directions to the San Fernando Cathedral.
