<\/span>I’ve been to St. Augustine a handful of times, most recently being this past Saturday Nov. 23rd.\u00a0 It was a fortunate coincidence that it happened to be St. Augustine’s Night of Lights, an annual festival and tree lighting.\u00a0 The entire town turned out.\u00a0 Some dressed up for the event.\u00a0 The mayor even made a speech.\u00a0 We gathered with the North Florida locals for the epic countdown. 10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1…<\/p>\n

Maybe I’m a little spoiled by the Disney Christmas lights<\/a>.\u00a0 I mean, how do you really compete with this?<\/p>\n

$\"Christmas$ <\/a><\/p>\n

But I feel like even if I didn’t spend so much time at Disney, the St. Augustine Night of Lights would still be underwhelming.<\/p>\n

Some good did come of it though.\u00a0 As a result of the crowds brought in by the Night of Lights, the Castillo De San Marcos<\/a><\/span> did a rare candle light after dark tour.\u00a0 Small groups were lead through the 341 year old fort stopping in different rooms to hear costumed characters explain the different periods of operation for the fort.<\/p>\n

The tour started with the first Spanish period starting after the forts 23 year construction from 1672-1695.\u00a0 We then visited the British Colonial period, the second Spanish period after the American Revolution, and finally the fort’s role as a training facility in WWII.<\/p>\n

<\/span>The fort definitely had a different and more eerie feeling in the dark.\u00a0 It was a very cool experience that I was very fortunate to have stumbled into.<\/p>\n

St. Augustine is America’s oldest city and that means there is much there to explore, but the Castillo De San Marcos is certainly one of my favorites.\u00a0 It’s home to many unique sights, but most importantly is perhaps my favorite tree.<\/p>\n
