Remember the Alamo! We actually visited the famous Alamo today – it was on both of our bucket lists and so glad we were able to make it here. This world-renowned site is the site of a famous battle when Texas was fighting for its independence from Mexico.
You may know the story but briefly, around 150 men defended this Mission while General Santa Ana with 5,000 troops laid siege. Frontiersmen Davy Crockett, William Travis, and Jim Bowie died during this battle along with many other heroes from Kentucky, Tennessee, England, Ireland, and other locales. Even though they all died, their names and heroics live on.
It was awe-inspiring to be here and gain a better understanding of the battle, those who gave their lives and the reasons that led up to it.
