Sunset Sunday – The Fort at San Blas, Mexico
Among statues, cannons, and history, I enjoyed the sun’s descent. From atop the hill, I took a few photos to mark the memory, but then started to mentally travel back in time. I wondered what life was like when the Spanish occupied the fort. Their world, that world – so different from mine
