Conquistadore at Fort King Festival


We are "out-of-pocket" at the moment, visiting in South Florida. I've been unable to make my usual rounds, but will try to catch up as best I can in a few days. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

    God bless you!

    I don't know . . . I guess I've always thought that people in Florida have pointy heads!

    Enjoy the hometown. Will be back in a few weeks, also. That outfit looks like it would be very hot running around the new world.

    Have a great time! Careful you don't get into a fight with a Conquistador. They can be dangerous! ;-)

    His beard face is perfect for this Spanish Conquistador armor!

    Nice people shot. But I wonder why people often worship the wrong heros. Conquistadors are no more than greed-driven plundering robber barons.

    Hope you have a nice trip!

    He certainly looks as if he stepped off the stage in a local but well funded company of Man of La Mancha!

    @ Beachlike - I don't really know. He didn't seem to be in any discomfort and it was quite warm...
