This is the historic downtown area. There are plenty of unique shops, restaurants and museums. I love the old brick streets. It is a very pedestrian area -- nice to just walk around.
Bridge of Lions
Pigeons enjoying the view!
Oldest Wooden Schoolhouse
No clue!
A unique tree; a palm tree is growing out of the center of it
I liked the name of this cafe!
Seriously? Alligator tail?? Even if I wasn't a
vegetarian, I wouldn't eat that!
Cute Coffeehouse
This is supposedly the oldest house in St. Augustine. Doesn't look so old to me! In fact, my house looks older! I didn't spring for the $8 to go in.
Love these streets!
There are historic markers all over the city.
I like that! This is a nice park in the center of town.
A sweet little sparrow.
The Floridian - a very nice lunch spot.
I had a delicious vegetarian (tempeh) Reuben sandwich
LOTS of ways to get around town. You can take this . . .
. . . or this . . .
. . . or this!
Just don't take this! The poor horse has to drag around this cart all day long. This is very sad to me and, personally, I think these horse carts should be outlawed. Give the horse a break!
This was a very well-maintained Veterans' Cemetery in town. The grounds were so manicured; it was really beautiful. The National Guard Station was across the street.
This was so interesting. These were 2 gravestones of Indians. Each stone had a little leather beaded pouch draped around it. It was quite beautiful.
I assume this was a Father and Son.
And, of course, just walking around town and looking at all these beautiful, unique old homes was fun. Each one was different from the next. I just love all the different styles.
This stairwell below is the inside of the house above.
Housing for the National Guard.
Another very, very old cemetery in the middle of town.
