From the bulletproof security of
the Popemobile, the pontiff was
driven through Alamo Plaza during
a downtown motorcade. He did not
get out of his vehicle.
“We’ll never be able to experience
it again,” said Carol Puente of San
Antonio, who arrived about 4‘/a
hours before the pope.
She said she understood why he
passed so quickly: “It was OK with
us.”

Archbishop Patrick Flores was to
give the pope a quick history of the
Alamo, which draws 3 million visi
tors a year.
The Alamo, encircled Sunday by a
fence, was built around 1718 by
Franciscan fathers. It became a bat
tleground in 1836 when Mexican
general and President Antonio Lo
pez de Santa Anna rode north with
thousands of troops to squelch a
brewing revolution in Texas, which
was part of Mexico.
Santa Anna prevailed in an 18-
day battle that killed the Alamo’s 189
defenders, including William Travis,
James Bowie and Davy Crockett.
A month later, Santa Anna was
defeated by Sam Houston in south
east Texas. Texas eventually became
a republic and “Remember the
Alamo” became a familiar battle cry.
The Daughters of the Texas Re
public now operate the Alamo,
which is in the heart of a downtown
area that is marked by stores and
businesses that have taken its name.
Many of those stores displayed
signs Sunday that said, “Welcome
Pope John Paul II.”

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — While thousands of
Mexicans who were expected to see Pope John
Paul II stayed behind, at least a few thousand
camped out early at the site of the outdoor Mass.

hour trip from Gustavos Diaz Ordas, Tamauli-

so now it’s my chance to see him,” said the 70-
year-old woman, referring to the pope’s 1979
visit to northern Mexico.
Many Mexican residents planning to make the
trip were forced to postpone when they discov
ered they would have to pay high insurance pre
miums to secure their buses. In addition, a new
Texas insurance law requiring Mexicans to have
the same auto insurance as state residents was
blamed for deterring most of the expected

would be better for us,” he said.
Garcia arrived at the Mass site at 12:30 a.m.
Sunday. “We would have gotten here earlier, but
we got lost and then had to walk three miles.”
Antonio Molinar of El Paso and his family, in
cluding his mother from Gasas Grandes, Mexico,
left the border city at 3 p.m. Saturday to arrive at
12:30 a.m. and wait for the general public gates
to open at 4 a.m.

About 1,500 members of a youth group from
Monterrey also were in attendance Sunday.
“We wanted to come in a bus, but the cars were
just fine. We’re here and that’s all that matters,”
youth leader Cecelia Garza, 24, said.
Another Mexican visitor, Leonor Rodriguez
Medrano, who saw the pope eight years ago,
came from Monterrey so she could see the pope a
second time.
