Final Four & Taylor Swift


A couple of weekends ago, the Final Four was in town and that meant a boat load of tourists, basketball fans, and free concerts. On that Sunday, the girls and I braved heading downtown and walked the riverwalk, stopped by the Alamo, then headed to the main concert stage to see a free Taylor Swift concert. Enjoy.


The Alamo. The line to tour went around the block. We did not enter that line.


Along the riverwalk...






This duck made it out of the Riverwalk and into a side fountain along the side of a hotel.

The original layout of the Alamo. On the center of the back wall is the mission that still stands and what everyone recognizes as "the Alamo" today. The entire compound was actually rather large and you can still see the foundations of some of the outer walls across the street from the Alamo right next to Louis Tussaud's Wax Museum and Ripley's Believe It or Not. This is one thing that irritates me about the whole thing. Not 200 feet from the mission is a ton of tourist stuff that, at least for me, takes away from the historical aspect of the mission and the area. (Stepping down from soapbox)


K was tired but was clapping like crazy and singing along.
