The powerful Saturn V engines. One of the many alligators that roam the grounds of the Kennedy Space Center.

I saw more gators here than in the Louisiana bayous.

The Castillo de San Marcos was originally painted red and white and traces of the paint can still be seen.

The fortress is made out of coquina, a type of shell rock, which did not shatter when hit with cannon fire, so the fort was never taken by force in its entire history. 

I also learned the difference between cannon and mortar fire.  These are cannons and only fire cannon balls.  Mortars are short and fat and can lob anything you can shove in them.

The flag is the Spanish battle standard.

The quarters and other rooms surrounding the courtyard of the Castillo San Marcos.

The Castillo is where Geronimo's band of Apaches were imprisoned for several years.

Flagler College, which used to be the Ponce de Leon Hotel.
One of the church towers on one of the Flagler-built churches.  The gray and red stone structures are common around the city.

Mr. Flagler was very fond of Renaissance inspired styles, and since he built most of the larger structures in town, that's how most of them look.

This is the church that Mr. Flagler had built as a memorial to his daughter.

He hired 1000 workers to work in two 12 hour shifts - 24 hours a day - to complete the church in less than a year.

  The St. Augustine Lighthouse.

I shot this before I climbed it ... long way to the top.

And this shot is looking down inside from the top (but then you probably guessed that).
  One of the lions on the Bridge of Lions. Inside the Lightner Museum.  I took this photo in the "Russian Bath."  The Lightner used to be the Alcazar Hotel, and this was a very impressive steam bath.

I just fell in love with the structure of the windows.

  I also shot a lot of photos of gates in walls in St. Augustine.  There are a lot of them in the old part of the city, and they are each beautiful.  But, this was my favorite.

I took a lot of photos here!!
