We are in Historic St. Augustine on a mooring off the old Spanish Fort, the Castillo de San Marcos completed in 1695. The city was settled in 1565 by the Spanish and retains its old Spanish layout to this day with many narrow streets with old historic buildings everywhere you look. We walked around for about an hour after we arrived yesterday afternoon and will do much more exploring in the next couple of days.We plan to tour the fort and some of the museums as well as try out one of the many fine restaurants for dinner some night.
In the opposite direction, there is the bridge of the lions. There are 2 statues of lions at the ends of the bridge. We'll have to get a picture when we walk over there to the grocery store. Finally we are getting some warm weather today along with light winds. Hopefully this will keep up.
