The Alamo: Where we finally get out from under the oppressive rule of Mexico




Actually, does everyone know we lost the battle at the Alamo? to Mexico? but then we rallied and beat them back, a fact even the mexican guide was proud of. i'm totally confused.

a statue of some of the guys that died at the Alamo, including, the Bowie knife, and Jimmy Buffet.

a funny flag with some historical significance that alludes me now.


(luckily, no one cares about history)

in Texas they fly the Texas flag above the US flag, which prompted me to get a bumper sticker that read: "Texas, when will you succeed?"
