"Named after General Casmir Pulaski, the Polish hero who was mortally wounded at the Siege of Savannah 1779. Begun in 1829 and completed in 1847, the fort was constructed principally under Lt. J.F.K Mansfield. There Robert E. Lee saw his first service after his graduation from West Point.
Fort Pulaski was never garrisoned until its seizure by Georgia troops in 1861 to prevent occupation by Federal forces. On April 10, 1862, Federal batteries on Tybee Island commenced the bombardment of Fort Pulaski. After 30 hours of bombardment as a result of which the walls were breached and its guns disabled. Col H. Olmstead surrendered the Fort. The bombardment marked the first effective use of rifled cannon against a masonry fortification and constituted an epoch in military history.
Abandoned by 1885, Fort Pulaski became a national monument in 1924 and placed under the national park service in 1933."

This bridge crosses Newark Bay and is connects the Turnpike to Hudson County and the Holland Tunnel. By the way the railroad bridge next to it was where as a young boy my friends and I would go swimming on a hot summer day.

December 31st is an important day in Cuba. Families get together to prepare for the next big day, “Triumph of the Revolution” National Day, and they cook pork: “cerdo asado.” Most Cubans take on all preparations themselves. First, they take out the intestines and sew the belly back; then, above a slow-cooking fire, they spin the pork for four to five hours. “Santiagueros,” people living in Santiago de Cuba, are known to cook their pork publicly, in the street. On December 31st, we visited the outskirts of Santiago in the Mariana de la Torre neighborhood. At Gabriel’s house (last 2 photos), just as the pork was almost ready, Gabriel tore off one of the legs and handed it to me. That’s when I put the camera away. Delicious.
