(1)- Our first stop was the fountain of youth. (2)- There we saw the marker that Ponce laid out to claim all the Americas for Spain. It is in the shape of a cross with 15 stones forming the body and 13 forming the cross, denoting the year that he arrived. (3)- He was greeted by Chief Oriba (7 feet tall) of the Timucuan Indian tribe, and made welcome. (4)- Another sentinal at the time of Ponces arrival was the old oak tree, The Senator. (5)- Ponce had a fort built to protect his new world, using the latest design features of the period. (6)- The plaque near Ponce's monument is inscribed with the date of his arrival, and the name he used to describe the new world. By the way, people in Saint Augustine look just as old as people everywhere else. Of course, no one would tell me their real age, not even Chief Oriba.
