Pirate Daveed after comandeering a Cannon from the Old Spanish Soldiers!
Reenactment of Old Spanish Soldiers Firing at the British on the Island
Castillo de San Marcos....Saint Augustine, Florida
This is a picture of a free Anchorage on the Intracoastal Waterway in St. Augustine, Florida, (the Oldest City In America). This anchorage lies between the Inlet and the Bridge of Lions, near Castillo de San Marcos (the Old Spanish Fort). Many sailors anchor their boats there and dingy to either the seawall or Municipal Marina. The Seawall is just a short walk from the Fort and you can walk around outside the fort and even watch the Cannon Firing demonstrations for FREE. Being a National Park, admission to tour the inside of the fort is still very reasonable and after crossing the drawbridge over the moat, you can see relics, weapons, and many other articles from the 1500's to 1700's and gain a wealth of information for history buffs.
Across the water on the Anastasia Island is the Lighthouse. A tour of the the lighthouse is available as well, and very interesting but you may want to skip your StairMaster workout that day as it is a long walk up the winding staircase. Once at the top, you will be rewarded with a Fabulous View of the area.
I will do more articles about places to see in this Beautiful Little City, reminiscent of a European Seaside Village. If you enjoyed this article, feel free to donate by clicking the Buy It button and keep the articles coming. Thank You, Daveed
