Jim Norman Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 If I remember correctly isn't there a movie set of the Alamo outside of town? Weird thing is the Movie set had a fee, the real Alamo was free! As for "touristas" I spent a few months inthe Eastern Caribean after a hurricane a few years back doing some rebuilding. There were people from all over the world, the two worst groups as I remember it were the French and at a distant second the average American. It seems like a lot of people forget they are a guest in someone else's home when they travel. It can be embarrasing to watch the behaviour of some people.

WEll I just said ... Downtown not the entire SA area. I would have to use a club shot timer to keep up with a city average. The best protection I can think of is tapeing a target to my shirt. If they shoot AT me I am going to be ok, it just all the stuff around me that will get hit. just kidding = Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shred Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 If I remember correctly isn't there a movie set of the Alamo outside of town? Weird thing is the Movie set had a fee, the real Alamo was free!Jim They built one outside of Austin for the latest movie, in terrain nothing like the original (there is a cliff line not far from the set-- we'd go rock climbing there and peek over the edge to see what was going on). They torched that one for the movie, so there's not much left to look at. For a while CHL was verboten at the Alamo. I don't know if it still is.
