Before daybreak on March 6, 1836, the Alamo fell to the Mexican army leaving the only survivors to be 20 women & children and Colonel Travis’ male slave. Among the defenders of the Alamo who died was Davy Crockett. Yesterday was the 173rd anniversary of the siege of the Alamo. At 6 am, Kelly & I went to the Dawn at the Alamo (a ceremony honoring the fallen on both sides in the Alamo conflict).
After the ceremony, we hung around the area to await the official opening of the Alamo’s interior to the public. This gave both of us some time to take plenty of photographs of the exterior without the tourists milling around in all of the shots.
