Remember the Alamo

The Battle of the Alamo is an important historical, event, particularly to Texans.  There were huge line ups to go into the Mission and the museum.  But it was really interesting to learn about another era of history, the Mexican-American conflict.  At night, when it is lit up, the Alamo looks particularly beautiful!

The trees in this area are hung with white lights, which are still beautiful, but not quite as nice as the ones along the river.  

Most of the office buildings in the downtown area were lit up in various ways for Christmas,
all in all, a very impressive display!
