May 6th

Did an extra turn at the Fort today due to Changing of the Flag ceremony.   Had lots going on:
musket firing, 2 change of flag ceremonies, regular cannon drill.  Highlight was the British crew and Spanish crew alternating firings as the flag went up and down.  Busy day.  Thankfully, it wasn't too hot, and we had nice ocean breezes. 


Up with the Brit flag, then a cannon salute

First, we took down the Spanish flag

Shot from the change ceremonies, very formally done!




 


Saw these plates today:


Too tired to saunter tonight, they'll have to do without me!
