St Augustine
Recently, on a road trip to the Keys (that post is coming soon), we were able to stop in St Augustine, Florida. It was at least the 3rd time I had been there. Last time I had visited was with a great friend who was attending Flagler College. I remember having some pretty pictures of the town and it being very charming. But this last time I visited, I enjoyed it even more. I am working on plans to go back for a long weekend to relax and enjoy the old town. It is a great place to walk around and explore. Since it’s the “Nation’s Oldest City” the big focus is the history. There’s the old Castillo de San Marcos with a walking shopping district not far from the visitor’s center. The website for the City of St Augustine says in the, “Historic Colonial District, there remain thirty-six buildings of colonial origin and another forty that are reconstructed models of colonial buildings”. It’s a very touristy area but I think it’s done well. It’s not a huge town so you can stay downtown, near
