Ft Pickens - Pensacola, FL

Yesterday was a "stay here" day.  Walked to Ft Pickens and as the expression goes, "broke bread with the dead."  A huge fort built by slaves with 22 million bricks. It used from 1834 to 1947.  Geronimo was incarcerated there for a short period of time.  The island is flush with ospreys and blue herons.

    I think its weird to see ruins in America. It looks like you went to Europe or something.

    The arches are doubled...top and bottom to spread the weight of the arch over the sand
