St. Augustine, FL

Castillo de San Marcos (This fort is one built by the Spanish with blocks of coquina after other materials in previous forts did not protect the people from intruders. This fort never was overpowered by attackers again. Changes were made through negotiations however.)

A boat trip in the Intercostal Waterways really appealed to us.

St. Augustine skyline from the water:

St. Augustine lighthouse.

Pelicans resting on a sand bar.

The bridge of lions is being reconstructed. (The lions will be returned when the new bridge is finished and then the temporary bridge will be torn down and used in some other city that needs a bridge.)

We almost missed our boat ride watching this crane pick up a concrete pumper truck off a barge and put it on the dock.
This old live oak tree is called the Old Senator.

Villa Zorayda:
All the windows are different in this structure so the ghosts can't leave and find their way back into the house.

Magnolia street lined with overhanging live oak trees:

City gates: A life sized statue of pint sized Ponce de Leon.

Love tree: A palm tree entwined with a live oak.
