Last week we were in St Augustine, Florida, for Laura and Zac's wedding (Laura is Kellie's cousin for those not in the know). It was a beautiful wedding, and it was great getting to see the whole Benner clan. We had a few late nights playing cards.
St Augustine is an historic town, the oldest in America in fact. It was "discovered" by spaniard Ponce de Leon in 1513. He was looking for the fabled fountain of youth, and reckoned he found it here. The town was strategically important to the Spanish while european powers fought over the new world. They built a couple of forts to protect their colony against their rivals, and marauding pirates. Arr!
