| Francisco Menendez |

| Francisco Menendez’s life transcended the stereotypical role of a black man in the North American colonies. He managed not only to endure the horrors of slavery, but also to bring the battle back to the British while personifying the racial pride that slavery attempted to erase. |

| Spanish Colonial St. Augustine |

| Cultural Cuisine |
|
| No one should leave Florida without at least one Cuban meal, whether it’s breakfast, lunch or dinner. You don’t need to find fancy restaurants – comfortable, family-friendly spots where Spanish is usually the first language will do. |
