Castillo do San Marcos

This fort was for many years the northernmost outpost of Spain's New World empire. It is the oldest masonry fort and best-preserved example of a Spanish colonial fort in the US. Built in 1656, it is the oldest permanent European settlement in the US.

Florida

Just got back from a trip to St. Augustine, Florida.

We had a great time, Greg was sick with a bad cold the whole trip but he was a real trooper and did all the site seeing. The weather was great, around 84 every day.
