Paul thought it would save time if we drove our RV into downtown San Antonio, TX to visit the Alamo rather than take public transportation. Well, 2 metered parking spots on the street and almost ONE hour later we finally found a spot (or really two spots). Since Paul is the better navigator of the two of us, I was forced to be the driver on this one. Well, you can only imagine how well that went over with me. Now, hopefully, we will remember to do better planning in future visits to urban centers.
However, once we got past the parking experience, it was amazing to see God’s hand in the HIStory of Texas. The Alamo was a sad, but important turning point. The tragic loss of life there motivated the Texans to better unite and organize to fight for their independence from Mexico. About a month or so later, they captured Santa Ana and won their independence. It’s sad and sobering to see what horrors people endure to fight for what they believe in. I know I’ll see a lot more of that as we visit Civil War and Revolutionary War sites.
