I was told by many people not to miss the Alamo while in San Antonio. Since you can see it from my hotel window, I certainly didn't have an excuse. It's a somber, moving experience. One of the people who died, Micajah Autry, was from North Carolina. The people who fought and died were fighting for independence and freedom. They don't allow cameras inside the building as a show of respect. Here are some pictures I took outside and some links. The last link is the official site, but I can't get it to work.
