I’ve been to The Alamo, but I don’t remember it. lolÂ
Seriously, I actually have been to San Antonio, Texas and apparently we went to the Alamo Cenotaph but I was like four so I don’t remember it at all. (Don’t tell anyone from Texas that I’ve forgotten the Alamo. They get huffy.)Â
Do national monuments count? I’m gonna go with yes, because outside of that I’ve only really been to museums and places in the city that are old as hell. I’ve been to Carlsbad Caverns and White Sands a few times (last time was about two years ago) and they’re about as thrilling as you’d expect. White Sands has a lot of white sand. It’s white as snow and goes on for what seems like forever and other than the missile range there’s not a lot to look at. Carlsbad Caverns are cool, though. It’s cold and humid and the rock formations are fucking massive. There are a few in the big room that are just amazing. There’s some called the “hall of giants” and unfortunately you can’t get very close but they’re like 60 feet tall (18.3 meters). They’re gorgeous, honestly. It’s more natural history than human history, but it’s still awesome.Â
History Asks!Â
