Its the Alamo! The Alamo is pretty unimpressive as far as national monuments go, but everyone knows that. Its still cool to have seen it. I saw the giant live oak that's pushing down the walls, and we walked around the shrine.

San Antonio has lots of other missions, so after the Alamo we went to Mission Concepcion. It was really cool. We couldn't go in the church because they are restoring it, but we went in some of the side buildings. You could still see some of the colorful frescoes on the walls and ceilings. In one room, there was a large shelf, probably for a bed, and there was a doodle of a ship above it.

After that we went to the Natural Bridge Caverns. It rained about 8 inches the night before, so the caves were dripping. We had to walk through a lot of "rainy" spots, and the water was flowing down the path. Our feet got really wet, but it was worth it. The caverns were really cool. This was just a walking tour, but they offer tours where you get to crawl and climb through the caves. I think that would be fun to do.
