Went to San An-tone this week. I got done with work at about 1100 in the morning, and since Chardok is a prick I was left in San Antonio, all on my lonesome.

So, I went to the Alamo.



I know that if I were a Mexican, The Alamo would be on my "to-see" list.






Tourist traps across from the Shrine.





The Shrine of Liberty!






Some walkways by the Shrine...








Monument out front






Post Office






The Emily Morgan Hotel, which is near the grounds.







The Long Barracks, the oldest building in San Antonio, and where the last of the fighting was.






Millstone





Japanese memorial, commemorating all the Japanese at the Alamo. (Am I joking? Who knows?)






Masons!





Cannon





Cavalry Courtyard





Bronze Plaque commemorating the Texans that fought their way into the Alamo to join the defenders.





Metal map of the compound by the Long Barracks.









The Shrine itself("Gentlemen, remove your hats. No photography allowed indoors.").










Green space on the grounds.






Hospital






DRT Library










Then I ambled about San Antonio a bit...First down to the Riverwalk...






Saw some art...







A Statue....






I was pretty distressed to see a sign to my secret lair...

Lovely city. Too bad it's full of Texans.

I am not. I work and have a two year old and your visit could not have been more poorly timed what with his B-day and and shit. You're a poop and the Alamo Sucks.


Sir.

Sir.

And you are also supposed to wipe your ass on the Texas flag.

Seconded in spades. It was quite the culture shock to go from NOLA to a city so beautifully functional

Hey, they're nice people; it's just the assholes out in the vastness of Rural Texas that ruins it. Houstonians are good people too, even if their city is SCARY HUGE. It's a shame I never went to dungeoncrawl the giant mall under Downtown.

I was kidding about the "full of Texans" part, y'know.
