San Antonio Boy at the Alamo

 

A young San Antonian, donning his Davy Crockett garb, says, "The Alamo is my favorite place to visit."

DOWNTOWN.   Construction began on this one-time mission in 1724. A quiet, shady landmark, it's smaller than most people imagine. It has become a memorial to the last stand of men like William B. Travis, Davy Crockett, and Jim Bowie in their fight against a much larger Mexican army. If you ask locals, they'll readily tell you just how important this place is to San Antonio, its history, and culture.   (© 10Best)

I think EVERY American should be able to visit this shrine to independence. Its churchlike presence just gave me chills and the few artifacts from Jim Bowie and Davy Crockett gives you a sense of what they must have been like. Don't miss this if you're in the area!!
