Fun Stuph Near the Alamo

Six Flags have flown over this great state: Spain, France, Mexico, The Flag of the Texas Republic, The Confederacy and the United States.  Six Flags isn't just a theme park.

The Menger Hotel

Blocks away from the alamo is the famous Menger Hotel where Theodore Roosevelt first gathered what would be the Rough Riders.  A politically astute man with a keen sense of history, I'm sure he knew the vibe of the Alamo would stir these men to incite the Spanish American War.

Monument commemorating the Defenders of the Alamo.  Lee's ugly mug blemishes this otherwise honorable picture.

San Antonio Riverwalk

The Riverwalk: A series of sidewalk cafes near the River.  There were many opportunities for us to eat at some silly bistros, but we ate Mexican food (Lee had the Chicken w/Santa Anna sauce)
