St. Augustine

I got away last week and put the blog on auto-pilot.  I went to one of my favorite Florida destinations, St. Augustine.  If you are not familiar with this city, it is a very special place.  St. Augustine was first explored by Ponce de Leon; a Spanish explorer, in 1513.  Did you notice the date?  Plymouth was in 1621.   St. Augustine is America's oldest established city, settled by the Spanish in 1565.  (Photos: The Lightner Museum, Flagler College, Bridge of Lions, Crescent Beach area) 

Also in St. Augustine is Castillo de San Marcos; oldest masonry fort in the United States, 1695. 
Thanks for joining me today.
