The awakening of St. Augustine.

This is one that I took while on vacation with my wonderful wife down in St. Augustine, FL. I took this while standing on top of the wall that surrounds the moat of the Castillo San Marcos. The view is looking directly south down the Avenida Menendez. St. Augustine is a really cool town to visit. It is officially the OLDEST city in the U.S. Originally settled by the Spanish and under their control until the late 1700's when it was occupied by the British, and then the U.S. it was the staging point for the Spanish armada that invaded Saint Simons Island, GA (where I live now). However, they were defeated at the battle of Bloody Marsh here on St. Simons.
