Diosa De Cancion Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Sigh, I was forced to return to the real world from a weekend in 1565. It was the celebration of the 445th anniversary of St. Augustine and the landing of Pedro Menendez De Avila. Here are a few photos and a video from the weekend. It was great to see everyone again and I even got a little weaving done :) Much thanks to Sgt Johnson and Mia (The Wench) for making it such a fantastic time. They were both working their backsides off to make everything happen!

Iron Jon Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I thought I saw you earlier during the landing but wasn't sure it was you. When we talked to Willie later in the day he said you were there. It would have been nice to meet up...
