We have arrived safely here in St Augustine, Florida and it is a beautiful city indeed! We attended Sunday service at Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine, the birthplace of the catholic church in America. Established by the Spanish in the 1550’s, the church was destroyed several times until the current structure was completed in 1797. The Castillo de San Marcos is the oldest masonry fort in the US. Built by the Spanish in the late 1600’s, it was a defense against British attacks. Flagler College is also here in town with beautiful grounds and architecture.
