Florida Key Lime Pie

The Key Lime Pie is nationally known as one of Florida's outstanding desserts.  During the early days on the Florida Keys, thrifty wives of "conch" settlers used juice from wild limes to make up this originally recipe.

Key Lime Pie and fruit from a Key Lime Tree.  The tartness of these Key Limes are unique in the Florida Keys, and the limes are not found in any other place.

The early settlers along the Florida keys had no means of refrigeration, and as a result, had very little in the way of desserts.  the Key Lime Pie, made from Key Limes that are grown in the Florida Keys, and have a very tart taste due to the rock formation of the Keys, is a result of this search for a sweet that would be made easily from the produce at hand.  the recipe has been handed down from generation to generation since the 18th century.

Key Lime pie is a favorite dessert in Florida's Out Islands, the fabulous Florida Keys.

St. Augustine, Florida

Fort Marion, (formerly San Marcos Castle) was begun y the Spaniards in 1665 and required 91 years in building slaves being compelled to do the work.

The walls are about 12 ft. thick at the base, 9 ft. at the top, and about 25 ft. high.  The structure covers about five acres.  It was bombarded in 1740 by Governor Oglethorpe of the Colony of Georgia.  It is built of coquina and is said to be the best preserved specimen in the world of the military architecture of its time.  It is the oldest fortification on the western continent.  Its walls and watch towers remain intact, but its guns are dismounted and the moat is dry.   It is in all respects a castle built after the plan of those of the middle ages in Europe.

There are inner and outer barriers, the barbacan, teh draw bridge portcullis, wicket and all appliances of such fortifications..  In 1833 a secret dungeon was discovered in the north east bastion, in which was found crumbled human bones.
