The Alamo is about two blocks from the heart of the Riverwalk.

Evie said...

You met someone famous and you're not telling us who it was? You're a tease!

Christian said...

Yeah, who was the famous person??? I want to know!

Joanne said...

I can only imagine the impact of visiting Dachau! You'll have to share that with me sometime.

Just a couple weeks ago, we had a famous hornist here giving a master class and recital. Thomas Bacon. No, I don't recall meeting anyone like a celebrity, but still, FAMOUS...haha. Also, I know some famous people in the drum corps world. But to the general public, no. It really comes down to how you describe famous and how you're looking at it.
