Castillo de San Marcos National Monument

So while we didn't have very much time (due to an extensive day at the beach), we decided to check out the castle (castillo) before it closed.


My hsuband points out that this "castle" was really a fort - since that was it's primary use, I'll have to give him that.




We had fun taking pictures with the sentry guard, and chatting with some 'period' guards later on




Canons seemed to be the thing at this fort. They were everywhere. We even got to watch a video that had a 17 minute re-enactment of how they loaded, and shot a canon.
