A PROUD HERITAGE

I'm not sure where to begin on this day packed fulled of such rich history, but we ended our 3-day tour of San Antonio at The Alamo, shown above.
Visitors to the iconic downtown site may pick their own path through the shrine's history.
Almost 1 year ago on March 6, 2011, the Alamo marked the 175th anniversary of the legendary 1836 Battle of the Alamo. The defenders, with such famous names such as Jim Bowie, Davey Crockett and William B Travis, fought bravely along with less than 200 men against the Mexican army until being overcome.
Today, the Alamo is the state's top visitor attraction and is operated by the The Daughters of the Republic of Texas.
