Yea, the Alamo sure wasn't what I thought it would be----no wonder we lost---shooting around those sky scrapers was tough. I hear that there is a replica some place west
of SanAntonio where they shot the first movie with the Duke. Going to find it some day...

Padra Island NATIONAL sea shore--just east of Corpus Cristi--the first time I was there was in 1980---the dirtiest park I had ever
been in. No garbage barrells --litter everywhere, and big globs
of crude oil all over the place...and I had to pay to get in.....

The Rio Grande river the first time...of coarse we had been in a
drought for 9 years, but there was no "wet backs"..There wasn't
enough water to get your ankels wet......and this is supposed to stop illegals???
