** Happy Veterans Day! A huge thank-you to all our veterans, past and present! **
Castillo de San Marcos
On
the outside looking in. Here is the entrance to the “Indian Room” (the first
room on the west wall, used as a provisions room for much of its existence)
seen from the former chapel on the south wall. If you look carefully you can tell
that this doorway was recently redone, as the coquina blocks are a new, pale
color. Over time they will fade to the same grayish color as the rest of the
Castillo.
Mission Nombre de Dios
This
little gazebo is located on the Mission grounds very near the chapel of La
Leche. It’s so peaceful on a quiet day --- unless the
bells happen to be ringing --- as you look out over the landscape. You could even
use the gazebo as a place of meditation if the chapel happens to be occupied and you'd
prefer not to share a private moment with strangers. Actually, if you’re a
person of faith but not of the Catholic variety, this may be your choice
anyway. You certainly don’t have to be religious to enjoy the Mission grounds,
though. It’s such a lovely and peaceful place for each and every visitor.
