The Alamo and South Padre Island

Saw the Alamo then drove to South Padre Island.  Unfortunately the weather isn't great, but I'm at the beach so it can't be all bad!







 Canon that was used in the defense.


 The barracks
 What it looked like before the battle.







 You can see the original and the restored parts from the lighter and darker parts.  It was restored by the military when it was used as an outpost and supply depot in the late 1800's.
 Menger Hotel.  Supposed to have been built on a burial site.  They say it is one of the most haunted places in the US.
