The Alamo of course is where you stole parts of Mexico from the people who stole that from the Indians. <br />I am young, 'cough'..

For the Alamo Mission in San Antonio still stands, and it was built sometime in the 1700s under Spanish rule. In all fairness, a loyal Tea-Partier might think of that 1848 structure to be the oldest one in the state that really counts. For Texas became a state in 1845.<br /><br />In regards to you wanting to feel younger, I applaud your efforts.

Growing up medieval times seemed like fairy stories and how could it possibly be true. Living here I have the proof in the way of buildings and artefacts all around us. Now I'm curious about things much much older.Mohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16999026380030273440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16539163.post-3038715449418041472014-03-24T20:46:12.371+00:002014-03-24T20:46:12.371+00:00I did consider Australia and meant to add a bit in...I did consider Australia and meant to add a bit in but for some reason didn't.
