| Swinging on the mooring ball |
St. Augustine was settled in the 1500’s and has a museum or landmark on every corner. It is the oldest town in America and we think it deserves a week’s stay. Plus, the same storms that have hit Nashville the last couple of days are now expected to make the weather here stormy and more importantly the weather north of us even shakier. So, we are swinging here on a mooring ball in the shadow of The Bridge of Lions in downtown St. Augustine, doing some sight-seeing, maintenance and taking it easy. This weekend promises a city Art Crawl/Wine Tasting and we plan on doing something touristy every day. Yesterday we visited the Lighthouse—today the San Sebastian Winery—tomorrow the Fountain of Youth (or maybe the Spanish Fort Castillo de San Marcos). We have the bikes out and find them useful plus we bought Trolley tickets that will take us to the beach and around town with the historical narrative. So we have been to the store, gotten a haircut (thank heavens-no more clown angst!) and done the laundry. Bottom line—we have seen the sites and been productive. Additionally, I had the best Sangria at the bar across from the dock (A1A Café). All in all a nice stop.
