While in Texas, our stay was short but we snuck in a visit to the Alamo and had lunch on the river walk. The battle of the Alamo was fought in February of 1836, it was the first step in Santa Anna's attempt to reclaim Texas. The Texans were significantly outnumbered, by some accounts 4:1. They held out as long as they could and killed an estimated 600 but eventually the battle was lost.
Being in Texas was a nice change from Ketchikan. The sun was shining and it was a very warm, 95 degrees. I loved the heat but I'm glad to be back in sweatshirt weather. I can't imagine working medevacs in Texas it was entirely too hot to be in a flight suit. While preparing to taxi for take off it must have reached 115 degrees in the Lear, we we're roasting in there. But we had a blast!
