To Florida with Friends

A fort we visited in St. Augustine, restored to its' original state, made completely out of rock.  Was very interesting. 
An original canon which was used to defend the fort and town. 
One of the outside walls - there was also a moat around the fort. 
Standing in front of the Amish Wal-Mart, they call it.  The buggies and horses are parked outside - was so very interesting. 
This is an Amish buggy, because it has a grey top.   This was in Lancaster County, the largest Amish community.  If you are interested, check it out on the internet - recommended reading, really.   
A young boy handling these 5 horses infront of a manure tank with steel wheels. 
 
Having a deep conversation in Gettysburg, Penn. where the deciding battle of the civil war was fought.  Great museums containing much history. 
My love posing with Mr. Abraham Lincoln.  Which is the most handsome? 
Beautiful welcome centres when entering each state.
