St. Augustine Florida is the oldest town, established 1565. It also has the oldest house - The Gonzalas-Alvarez House.
The streets in this part of St. Augustine are all one-way because they are so small.
Lance calls the homes around here plantation style. They do look like mini-plantation mansions.
This is the Castillo de San Marcos which is now a National Monument. From their website: "America Begins Here - A monument not only of stone and mortar but of human determination and endurance, the Castillo de San Marcos symbolized the clash between cultures which ultimately resulted in our uniquely unified nation. Still resonant with the strugges of an earlier time, these original walls provide tangible evidence of America's gram by remarkable history."
Just down the road from where we were staying is some other old ruins.
Had dinner at "American Graffiti". Good food and fun with a trivia game.
This is the first lighthouse I have seen. Guess along with churches and barns I will take pictures of lighthouses too.
Oops! Look like someone took a wrong turn!
