Fort in St Augustine, Florida

On Saturday afternoonm August 15, 2009. Dad and I went to see oldest fort in St Augustine. We drove past that fort a lot times. I begs him to take me to see Fort. Finally last Saturday, he took me to see Fort.


That was used to be moat. People are not allowed to go downstairs to moat. But I know what is moat. I thought it was COOL. We walk on bridge, top of moat.


A lot of cannons.


That is stone stairs lead to moat. We are not allowed go downstairs. I think it is too dangerous or steep stairs so We look over the moat.


Old stone wall. You can see some cracks on walls.


Soliders' bedroom. Inside fort was really, really hot! Anyway, that mattresses filled with hay. It seem soft mattresses. We can touch it but do not sit on it.


A huge cannon with balls.


Do you think that stone walls are made from cement? Wrong. Stones are made with shells! You can see shells on walls. Look close at wall.


A Spanish Flag. Old flag..Cool?



A tall pole with holes. Too high to see bottom.


Oh Look inside tall pole. I took camera over that hole, I think it is lead to well. But too dark and barely see any inside hole. I hold camera really tight when put it in the hole.



See a lot of doors? Some rooms, we are allowed to see inside. We went to top of fort. We walked on steps. That steps are not from 1565-1700s. That was used to ramp because they has to pull the heavy cannons to top of fort from ramp.



Bottom view. I put camera down to bottom and you can see how far to bottom from top.


We are allowed to walk inside the tunnel. Hmm. Let do it. I doing myself went inside small tunnel. Just 1 feet long tunnel.


I went inside and see other side from tunnel, Oh it is nothing but walls. Cool?


Look how big fort is! Bigger than Pittsburgh Fort Pitts and Fort Duquense.



A burnt cannon. I forget what happen but it is burnt cannon.



I wondering why there is steps in lake. I guess it is for people get stuff from boats.



I had no idea what it is! I guess it is toilet seats! Haha! but not toilets. I not know what it is.


Old prison room. You can see inside the holes but it is dark and little bit lights inside. COOL?



We stand and watch some "soliders" talk to people about black cannon then they put ball inside and pull the cannon. Pop! We can hear it. I can hear it but feels it. POP. really loud pop. I likes it.


It is furnace. We can see inside.


Boo! It is me. Dad took pic of me, he was other side of furnace.


I took about 105 pictures but I pick some of pictures for blog. I learn a lot from Fort. I can't wait for school next week. If I not use blog much, that not mean I not like it. It mean I am busy for doing school works or at school for play sports or other activies but I will blog each week.
