Probably the most famous landmark in St. Augustine, Castillo de San Marcos is a very interesting place to visit. If you look closely at the tower in the picture you can see bullet holes. They shoot off cannons regularly, which you can hear throughout the city. And James asked one of the men why he didn't see where the cannonballs hit. He said because the people in those houses across the bay would get really angry if we used real cannonballs. There is limited parking on-site but the city parking garage is close by and I recommend parking in it for your visit to St. Augustine rather than fight 2 hour parking limits or feeding parking meters - if you can find one open. Be careful parking along the seawall. It wasn't obvious why the first two days but the third day it had rained and those cars were flooded out over the bottoms of the doors - not a pretty picture. It really didn't rain all that much either. Sunday, October 07, 2007
