Today we spent the morning on our bikes touring St. Augustine the oldest continually occupied European settlement in North America. Ponce de Leon claimed Florida for Spain in 1513 and the first Spanish settlers came in 1565. We visited the Castillo de San Marcos a stone fort built in 1672 and then enjoyed turkey dinner on the patio of a local pub. A great way to spend a beautiful sunny day!
