| When the wall around Campeche was built, as is reasonable, it was right at the edge of the water. Since pirates no longer were a threat, the city started filling in its shoreline so that now it is about a quarter mile away from the wall. It has a wonderful walking/biking path that runs along the shore for miles with statues along the way. |

| We went to one of two forts built by the Spanish to defend the city. Ed is standing on the walkway to the entrance over the moat. |

| The well manicured moat with one of the several lookouts. |
 |
| This fort holds incredible treasures that have been recovered from ruins in the area. We can't remember how old this guy is but really, he's really old! Trust us! |
 |
| Add to your mental image of this lookout the probably more than 30 cannons and you can see the pirates didn't have many moves! |
