ST. AUGUSTINE, FLORIDA, A WALKABOUT


JUNE 23, 2012

Our stay in St. Augustine has been extended by a couple of days due to tropical storm
Debby.  We have been watching the weather & it does not appear that we will see much weather after tomorrow, but staying put is good.  This has given us some time for a little catch up on our biking tour.

THE SCHOONER FREEDOM RUNNING TOURS FROM
ST. AUGUSTINE MUNICIPAL MARINA
Thursday we did all the errands we could think of.  Parts store, grocery store, West Marine & of course the local ice cream shop. 

Yesterday Rod changed the oil in the engine while I did a little more work on the enclosure.  There is an amazing amount of small regular jobs that have to be done.  Friends of mine ask me how I was going to deal with the boredom.  Well,  I have not had time to be bored.  Before you know the day is gone & you are getting ready for the next.

SUNSET THE BRIDGE OF LIONS

Today was overcast, with a little rain.  We decided sightseeing would be a good idea.  Once we reached the main dock in the marina, Historic Downtown, St. Augustine is across the street.  This is a very popular vacation town.  We have talked to people from all over the country & Canada.  On this Saturday the streets were busy with pedestrians, horse drawn carriages, tour buses & of course bicycles.

ORIGINAL BRICK STREETS













The historic downtown is full of art galleries, museums & wonderful shops of all kinds.  It is a beautiful place to just walk the streets & listen to the people.  Then at the end of the afternoon, you can sit at a table on the sidewalk & have a relaxing glass of wine.
