Day#6 Tuesday - Fort Matanzas

 Officer's quarters - very cool to see how they lived and slept while in the Fort.

Had a great day exploring Fort Matanzas. Matanzas Inlet was the scene of crucial events in Spanish colonial history. The massacre of French soldiers here in 1565 was Spain's opening move in establishing a colony in Florida.  The construction of Fort Matanzas in 1740-42 was Spain's last effort to ward off British encroachments on St. Augustine.
