Day Thirty-Nine

Today I visited the Alamo in San Antonio with Lauren. Seeing the Alamo has been a lifelong dream since 2 years ago when my college house mates and I created a game called “Alamo” in the backyard. It all started in a hot tub conversation where we realized we were not utilizing our yard as much as we could, and needed to create some sort of game. We created a rulebook and glossary and opened Alamo season with the traditional firing of the projectile at the livewall towards the scout in effort to breach the opponent’s stronghold. Keith, Tyler, and Dan I hope you read all this. Visiting the real Alamo was cool too. After some considerable time in the gift shop searching for the perfect Alamo postcard, we made our way over to the famous River Walk in San Antonio where there were tons of restaurants and quirky shops all along the river; it’s a very cool area. I finally bought a Texas belt buckle, however Lauren talked me out of one that would make John Wayne jealous.



You can clearly see here that I am yelling "ALAMO!!!" Lauren is not yelling Alamo.


Davey Crockett's vest... pretty cool.


Texas was gorgeous so I had to pull over and take some pics.

For God and Texas!!! Texas gets the bigger side of the field because... well there bigger??? Who came up with that rule? By the way, I was just awarded MVP trophy for the second straight Alamo season! I take it as a true honor to be the only player in Alamo history to win 2 MVP's. I like to thank my... myself!

ALAMO!
Viva la Mexico!
