The Alamo is a must stop to understand the politics of the relationship of Mexico and what would become the state of Texas. Physcially it is underwhelming but the exhibitions inside are a great history lesson More

If you go to San Antonio visit the Alamo. It is right downtown, and is worthy of your time. I have visited it many times, however in this last visit I was happy to see that it is being visited by lots of school groups, and is in good condition. You won't see John Wayne, but you will see a... More
