Quadrangle

John spent the night with his friend Gabe while we were in Texas so the next day we met up with Gabe and Wendy again. We visited the Quadrangle at Fort Sam. It is the oldest structure at Fort Sam and also housed Geronimo and other Apaches that were captured with him while the federal governement were trying to decide if they were prisoners of war or just common criminals. The neat thing about the Quad is there are all these animals walking around; peacocks, geese, deer, and they come right up to you. There are offices in the old fort so there are always people around.

 The bell tower, legend has it that Geronimo jumped from the balcony you see at the top and survived.
