Trip to the Alamo

My wife and I took a short trip to San Antonio this weekend.  Made my first trip to the Alamo, and sadly to say, it was pretty disappointing.

You'd think that at a place like that, there would be a certain reverence.  After all, a couple hundred American heroes died there, including famous ones like Davy Crockett and William Travis.  But, instead, the place is a junk shop!  If you want Alamo crap, then this is the place for you!!!!

In fairness, the grounds that are left of the Alamo are very pretty, and there are pretty gardens out behind the old chapel.  The chapel itself is really pretty too - on the inside anyway.

Here is one of the few pics I took there - the front of the chapel.  You can see a couple of the shit dealers in front!

The main reason we went to SA was to see Hal Ketchum, a country music singer that my wife just loves.  He has been around a while, and is nearing the end of his career, but he went and played at a place called 'Gruene Hall'.  It was a true Texas "roadhouse" style bar!  We got there early, and managed to be basically in the second 'row'.

We got to meet him afterwards.  My wife loved it!  Sweaty old man!

Also, took a few videos, but only managed to get one uploaded.  This man can sing.

Eh, doesnt look like the video worked - its just a GIF
