St. Augustine, Florida - Part 1

We did lots of neat things while on vacation in Florida. One interesting place that we visited was St. Augustine. It's the oldest port settlement in the continental United States, founded in September 1565 by the Spanish. It's older than Jamestown, which was established by the English in May 1607.

I'm sure you will enjoy this series as much as I enjoyed choosing the photos for it. All photos can be viewed larger by clicking on them.

The oldest masonry fort in the continental United States.

Touring St. Augustine

One way to tour St. Augustine is
by horse and carriage.

The beautiful blue water of the Matanzas Bay
with boats and the bridge that we drove over.

I do like the look of this place - am a great fan of bridges, so loved those, but that last pic of you all with the lion is the winner!! YAM xx

as you drove under the bridge to St. Augustine, we would motor under it...in our 47 foot Sabre Express Cruiser. We have visited that fun harbour many times. Great restaurants, good marinas, fun people.

That's really neat! I get seasick on boats even though I was nearly 2 years as a missionary on the M.V. Doulos and that ship was built at the same time as the Titanic, just not as big nor as fancy. :)
