The Lone Star State

ROLLIN’ EAST through Texas, a stop in San Antonio sent us off to tour The Alamo. The church, built in the 1700s, is all that remains of the garrison and battle which took place here in 1836 for Texas independence (no indoor photos allowed). Nine years later, the Lone Star State became the 28th state in the union. Later that night, a stop at Josephine Street for arguably the best onion rings ever, and back home to catch Billy Bob Thornton as David Crockett in the most accurate rendition of The Alamo (per our docent).
