St Augustine

New month, new State as I have entered "the historic state of Georgia, home of the 1996 Olympic games". At least that`s what it says on all the road signs as you enter the state. Obviously was a big thing in these parts. On the way up stopped at St Augustine, which in 1565 became the first European village established in the new world. Lots of old buildings full of history, and a wonderful old fort built by the Spanish settlers to protect the village from English pirates. There was a demonstration of a real cannon firing which sent the school groups into fits of ecstasy. Americans love a big bang.
