Hi All,
We spent today in St Augustine, first at the Seafood Festival then at the Ponce de Leon Archaeological Site.
We had great coconut shrimp at the festival and we now have some more scented candles.
The Ponce de Leon Fountain of Youth site always sounded like a hoaky tourist trap but friends recommended it so we gave it a try.
We found a curious mix of interesting archaeology, silly fountain of youth displays and 17th century re-enactors.
Here is s Timucuan village diorama
Archaeologists have confirmed this site as the location of the first settlement by Pedro Menendez in 1565. Sadly, this is the Admiral who slaughtered the French at Fort Caroline.
Love,
Sandy & Carl
