Did you read my explanation in Reply 31 about the height of the Indians and why Ponce de Leon was convinced he had literally found The Fountain of Youth, Calpernia?

We went there after you left Florida - was the Ampitheater over it then, and stage with depiction of it?
The guide gave that story of it.

And had they then uncovered, cleaning the area by the spring, the actual cross made of stones by him there?!!
Awesome to contemplate it being laid in 1513 to claim it for God!

Speaking of drinking the water, I did, and then went down to the statue by the bay.
Another older couple were returning from there, and the husband quipped to his wife, "See - she drank the water and it transformed her into Miss St. Augustine!"

It works!!
LOL

I had only skimmed the post and threads before I left for my son's school. I saw the references to St.Augustine and Ponce de Leon and posted the Fountain of Youth Real Player file to add to it.

I did see the cross of stones while I was in St. Augustine.
