Sigh----Another Day in Paradise.

I was up real early so I could beat the rush to the showers and then come back to write the blog yesterday.  I didn't know it but Bill was waiting for me to finish using it.  Living on our boat we only have one computer.  It was going to be a slow beach day for us.  It ended up being slow, but no beach for me.  Bill looked at the Sunshine Bus Schedule online.  The next one did not leave the Bridge of Lions, which would be closest for us, until 12:45.  It was 11:00 now.  That would just not work.  We walked to the Visitor Information Center.  She did not know exactly where or when it left but did have a map and schedule.  They were what we saw online.  We have found here that some things are sllooowww.  For example, if a menu has a change the online menu in the establishments website does not for a few weeks.  So for these to match was incredible.  

Yesterday the tavern mentioned as the oldest was the oldest in the Colonial Spanish Quarter.  After lunch yesterday we stopped for a couple of drinks at the actual oldest tavern, the St. George Tavern, in the oldest city, St. Augustine.  I had my camera but it was sooo dark and nothing really to take a photo of.  Just the usual taps and glasses behind the bar and the walls mostly decorated with mirrors with beer ads. We watched some of the updates of the NFL Draft.  Being a Jaguar fan i was very happy with their first round pick of a wide receiver.  And a good one to boot.

This is a view of half of St. George Street before the days rush.



We walked across the street for happy hour (oops, happy afternoon).  Wine and complimentary pizza.  It was a nice, relaxing day in St. Augustine.

This is a little guy that crossed our path on the way back on Thursday.  He is on the bottom of the screen.



Patti and Bill :-)
