Down Memory Lane: Castillo San Marcos

(Note:  All pictures may be enlarged by clicking on them once or twice.)

In August, 2009, Betsy and I traveled to Florida to see her brother in Jacksonville and to celebrate Betsy’s birthday.  After leaving Jacksonville we stopped in St. Augustine to visit Castillo San Marcos, the fortress built by the Spanish to protect their outpost.

    We stopped in St. Augustine many years ago on our first trip to Florida. We haven’t been back; but I do remember that I loved the area.
