The Alamo Mission

I visited the Alamo after living in San Antonio for two months.  I graduated from USAF basic military training at the end of January and when my family came down to see me, we toured San Antonio.   I remember the Alamo seeming out of place, the older building surrounded by a developed city.  I remember this building fondly, because I was surrounded by friends and family after being away and isolated from them for two months.
