Really. Don't waste your time. Read the book instead. It's much more inspiring.
This was some years ago, but when the wife and I entered the Alamo, we had the impression of entering a church - or hallowed ground.
I particularly liked the sign over the entrance: "Gentlemen, remove your hats, for brave men have died here."
“The Alamo is one of the least impressive historical sites I’ve ever visited. There’s very little left of the original compound, and I didn’t get any sense of the historical context of the place.”
I felt the same, but that was in the ‘60s, I was a kid, and had just seen the movie. Very disappointing. Reading the two posts following yours makes me want to revisit.
