St. Augustine

This is a pretty little town, I'll give it that. Lots of color, on the buildings and in the characters.



We toured the Spanish quarter this morning and walked across the Castillo, the fort. It's interesting what a couple of hundred years of fort building will get you, and what's Spanish and what's not. The cannons? Many are not and have no historical tie to the fort. They've been donated and provide color. Here's a view from the battlement looking toward the port inlet.



We're supposed to meet the kids for supper in about an hour. More later.
