We visited the Castillo de San Marcos today and had a great time! We even got to see a cannon drill demonstration where they explained that if, during the first Spanish period, it looked like the fort was going to be attacked, some soldiers would be sent out in a boat to get reinforcements....from Havana. It took ten days to two weeks for them to make the trip, so the fort had to make sure it could hold out for at least a month.

An incredible photograph of St. Augustine's largest fort The Castillo De San Marcos. I thought it was a renaissance painting.
