The Alamo ~ Drawing a Line in the Sand

As legend has it, Colonel Travis drew a line in the dirt at The Alamo when the fort had been surrounded and his forces faced certain defeat.

He asked his men, which included famed hillbilly hero & frontiersman Davy Crockett, to volunteer to join him in battle. All but one, made the decision to stay and fight.

Although the fort was eventually taken over and all of Travis' men killed, these hallowed grounds still represent the epitome of courage and sacrifice.

The Alamo is also home to beautiful statues of gods, goddesses and fearless men and their calvary, all reminders of the proverbial "Line in the Sand", which dates back to ancient Greece.

I thoroughly enjoyed spending time here at this shrine to irreversible and permanent decisions.
