To be a Rough Rider?
After spending a couple hours at The Alamo it was time for a midday vacation beer and what better place than The Menger Bar. Teddy Roosevelt recruited many of his soon to be famous Rough Riders in this bar...
I often find myself wishing we had politicians more similar to Teddy Roosevelt, there's a man who frequently put his money where his mouth was and took no shit. In a world where politicians are largely just big-mouthed pricks we sure could do with a second coming of Teddy Roosevelt...
I didn't take many photos on the grounds of The Alamo, the battle has always had a special meaning to me as a former fighting man, it's a tale of true grit and heartfelt sacrifices and I was a bit overcome to finally be on those sacred grounds.
This star was on a pillar near the north wall, I believe LtCol. Travis was killed near this spot. I'm glad I got at least this photo of my pocket silver...
The grounds are very peaceful and respectful despite the large crowds that are present.
A now beautiful place that was once full of tumult and death.

If I ever visit Texas, I'd better try the national beer of Texas. @ironshield

👍 it's nothing amazing, but its better than a budlight or any other equally weak beer!
