Remember The . . .

Category: Movies / Travel

. . . Alamo!

A couple of nights ago, I finally found the time to watch The Alamo. I wanted to see it on the big screen, and had planned to see it when it was first released but, ... between planning the move (back) South, and all of the associated frustration that accompanied that ordeal, movies ended up as low end of the priority spectrum. But, the big screen television -vs- the big screen in the theatre was still an okay viewing option.

Having visited San Antonio two years ago, staying at the historic La Mansion Del Rio Hotel on the Riverwalk, and touring the Alamo not once, but twice, while there (even checking out the basement just like Pee-Wee Herman suggested), and seeing the amazing holographic depiction of the events leading up to, and into, the Battle at the Alamo shown during the tour, the movie brought even more of the story to life.

I would highly recommend both the movie, and a visit to San Antonio, to everyone. The Riverwalk, the artists' boutiques, art galleries, local crafts shoppes, the local markets, tours of the old missions (other than the Alamo), as well as touring through a city that is simply filled with much history, is an exciting adventure for all the senses.
