Wandering the streets of St. Augustine






ST. AUGUSTINE, FL - - We started out on a trip to the Alligator Farm, but foggy conditions made it smarter to just wander around SA.
     Wander enough on the back - back streets and you'll encounter small religious enclaves.
     Of course, my internal GPS will usually point me in the direction of a coffee spot.  This particular one was "old-style" in keeping with St. Augustine's  claim as 'America's oldest city.'
     When you're nearly surrounded by the Atlantic, the Gulf and rivers all over the place you're probably going to go fishing...thus the attempt at FL  humor.
     So if you can't fish well then you better be a pirate...and park your pirate galleon in the nearest marina.
    Which is guarded by a pair of granite lions at each end of the bridge spanning the inter coastal waterway / Matanzas River.
     If you're just plain lazy then you should see the sights from the red train tour.
