Historical Visit P2

-


Welcome back to my blog! It's been a little bit since I've been on here but I'm glad to be back! For this week blog, we got to visit another historical site, and I'm glad I went earlier during the week because right now the location I chose to go to is completely flooded by Hurricane Nicole :( I chose to go to the very well known, Castillo De San Marcos National Monument in St. Augustine. On November 3rd, my best friend, Grayson and her dog, Cooper and I went to adventure the Castillo De San Marco. The weather was absolutely beautiful, it was a little windy but very clear skies it was a beautiful day to explore some of Saint Augustine's oldest treasure. "The oldest masonry fort in the continental United States, the Castillo de San Marcos is a large Spanish stone fortress built to protect and defend Spain's claims in the New World. It's a National Monument and, at over 315 years old, it's the oldest structure in St. Augustine. It's also one of the main attractions visitors to St. Augustine come to see" says VisitStAugustine.com. I have lived in Florida my entire life and I've also been to many field trips to the Castillo de San Marcos in each time has been a true experience.  It is so cool to get to walk around in tore a place that holds so much history so close to where I've lived my entire life. Grayson, Cooper, and I spent probably a good hour hour and a half exploring around the fort. Overall, we had a great time exploring the beautiful Castillo de San Marcos of St. Augustine! Also, let's please keep in mind those who houses and also all of the historical places that are now flooded due to Hurricane Nicole ☺

  Welcome back to this weeks blog! For this weeks blog entry, we were told to visit a historical place of our choice. I chose the St. Augustine Lighthouse located in St. Augustine, Florida. Here to the right of the screen is a picture of the beautiful white and black striped lighthouse.  Today, September 20th, around 3:30pm my brother and I decided to take a deeper look into the history of the St. Augustine Lighthouse. What better way to do that than by going there, and that's exactly what we did! When we arrived, we went inside and bought out tickets to go make the 219 step climb to the top of the lighthouse. Once we bought our tickets, we walked down a small trail to get to the entrance of the lighthouse. The climb only took us about 10 minutes, when we go to the top of the lighthouse it was beautiful! Weather was nice, very windy and partly cloudy. We spent majority of our time at the top admiring the beach on one side and The City of St. Augustine on the other. The lightho...
