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...

"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."
Lovely city. Too bad it's full of Texans.

American Conservatism is about the exercise of personal responsibility without state interference in the lives of the citizenry..... unless, of course, it involves using the bludgeon of state power to suppress things Conservatives do not like.

Seconded in spades. It was quite the culture shock to go from NOLA to a city so beautifully functionalSteve wrote:Lovely city.
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.Steve wrote:Too bad it's full of Texans.
I was kidding about the "full of Texans" part, y'know.
