Spring Break Day 2 Part 4 - The Alamo

When Randy, Daniel, and I got downtown we had planned to see the Alamo first then get on the trolley tour.  The line to get in the Alamo was 1/4 of the way around the block.  We didn't want to wait in line, so we went around the block to the park section of the Alamo.  We walked around and saw the outer part of the Alamo.  It was pretty, we were satisfied, and went back to the tour.

After the trolley tour and Market Square, we stopped by the Alamo after dark.  This was the first time I've seen the Alamo after dark.  It was awesome.

Carriage rides at the Alamo.  We didn't go, but they looked fun.

So much history, so small a space
Lots of carriages lined up waiting for riders
 As part of our trolley tour we got to see a 45-minute Alamo movie at the I-Max.  The film photographed pretty well.  :) :)
