Hi ;

  I will tell you this .This is comparable or every bit better than what is in the ALAMO itself . Funny that though .I touched the bullet holes and cannon shot holes in those walls and a shiver ran up my spine . That dio brings all those feelings back . Great job that , and the choice of music ,well done Mr . Spooner !

I know what you mean.  Have you ever been to Goliad and visited the Presidio la Bahia?  Because it's in a rural setting, and not surrounded by a big city like San Antonio around the Alamo, the Presidio is much more as it was in 1836.   I got chills there standing in that courtyard where surely some of Fannin's force was kept.  They have a nice little gift-shop and small museum as well.  Heck, you've probably been there a lot, but I wanted to mention it anyway,

I agree.

If you've never been to the Alamo its in downtown San Antonio. Surrounded by buildings you would typically see in any average size or above American city. Kinda like visiting any large museum except in this case the museum itself is the historic site.

Excellent dio!

Tojo72, thanks for this one! Some utterly amazing work. You could spend hours just looking at different aspects of it.
