Downtown San Antonio, quite amazing isn’t it? Surrounded like it is.

It certainly is - San Antonio de Bejar my home town! The only parts of the Alamo that survive are the iconic Chapel, the Long Barracks (now a museum), and the Cavalry courtyard. People do not realize that the battle was fought in the early morning darkness. The spot where Colonel Travis was killed on the North wall is on the steps of the bank on Houston Street. Whenever I have visitors I always take them to the Alamo.
