<div class="MsoNormal">
Financial Institutions.
We all need them in one form or another.
Unless of course you bury your money in mason jars in the back yard or
in your mattress or in the freezer so you can always have cold, hard cash. With the onset of the internet we can now do
almost all of our transactions and viewing right in the comfort of our home in
front of the computer. I love technology
but…..</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Last week I was trying to link two accounts from two
financial institutions together.
According to the sites this should be an easy process. For the newly created account at the new
foundation I needed to input a user id.
Hmmm. I guess I just click on
create one. Enter my new account number
and….and…I can’t give it me. What kind
of an error message is that. So I tried
to link from the other institution.
Nope. So I sent off an email to
my advisor. A few days later he said to
call the technology help desk. Well that
means bringing the laptop to the porch to use the free wifi since you cannot
talk on the phone and use the internet at the same time if you use the
hotspot. AAAHHH!! In the meantime we got a mail delivery. Documents to sign for the new account. And look, my user id and temp. password. Great.
So I went into the site….nope.
What????? Ok, the other
site. Nope. So off we go with the laptop and phone in
hand. Go into the site and waalaa. I am in.
I just sat there shaking my head.
Bill just smirked and kept on reading his paper. Gotta love technology.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Well, that done, we went to the Key West Yacht Club for
lunch. I mentioned before that we didn’t
get much damage here. This is one poor
boat at the yacht club.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
OK, so it has been awhile since I have written anything in
this blog. We need to use the hotspot on
our phone here so we tried not to use it so much. Well, we could bring the laptop up to the tackle
shop deck and use it there for the free wifi.
The problem with that is I can get side tracked easily. And it is also a haul to carry this in the
large padded bag. So now since we have
few bills since we have move aboard, the biggest is nothing to do with cars (payments,
insurance, taxes). We are throwing caution to the wind and using
the hotspot more. We get 2GS with our
plan then it is $20.00 for the next 2 and so on.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This will be a quick catch up on our goings on here in Key
West.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We do still do some walking to local places to eat. When there is absolutely no wind it plays
havoc in my lungs but Bill still goes out.
He wanted to go a bit further so he bought a bike.</div>

We have a list of upgrades we need to do for the boat. We got the portable a/c unit.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We got new canvas including a bimini which we did not have
before. They were very reasonably priced
and professional. They were also very convenient, right out of the marina. Since I changed the color he wanted in our
kitchen in the house in Coventry I let him choose the color of the canvas. </div>

Then of course there were the “fixin” projects like the
joker valve for the head.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The summer here at the southernmost point in the US is not
for the faint of heart, or at least those with no a/c. Some establishments do get by with a
multitude of giant fans. Tropical Storm
Isaac wasn’t that bad for us here. There
were some boats that didn’t were not tied down correctly so the wind generator
got tangled in another boat. The
forecast daily usually calls for a chance of thunderstorms. Sometimes we get one. In my opinion in does not rain here in Key
West. It either barely sprinkles or it
pours, no inbetween. Last week Bill
spotted this water spout. </div>

Bill disconnected the air conditioner and we just plugged in the two fans. We then decided we would do a few errands today, all within walking distance. First, since Irene had really done a job on our dodger and we needed one even before that as you could not see through the plastic window we walked across the road to the canvas shop. Again the greeting was cheerful with a sniff and a wag.<br />

I did not catch his name, but we will be back. The owner is coming today to look at our old one and get us an estimate.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
From there we walked up to Burger King. Yes, some good old fashioned junk food. But very familiar. Then to get wine and lottery tickets. Back on Enigma we opened our mail delivery. Title for dingy was there and the insurance paperwork to finish and sign. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We later decided to walk over to Dock 3. There are three docks here. We are on one, which is about 70% sailboats. The docks here are very wide. Wide enough to drive on.</div>

As I had mentioned before it is extremely hot here. Most of the boats have a/c running most of the time. To keep off some of the direct sun light many of the boats put a cover or two over the bow and/or stern. Not a bad idea. Some are professionally made.</div>

At this time of year the weather is the same everyday. About 90 degrees with high humidity and a chance of thunderstorms. The percentage of these change day to day. Yesterday was 50% so it was most likely going to rain. After cleaning up the boat some we decided to take a walk to the Hogfish Bar and Grill. About half way there is a West Marine and Bill needed to pick up some epoxy. If you have a boat you know that epoxy is a must have right after duct tape. It started to sprinkle so instead of walking on I decided to join Bill. This West Marine had a nice welcoming committee of one. Charlie Brown.<br />

He was really a little ball of fire and even knew some tricks. When the person he owned pointed a finger at time and made a bang sound Charlie Brown rolled over and played dead. Sooo cute.<br />
<br />
After our purchase the rain (actually sprinkles) subsided and we were off to Hogfish. The Bar and Grill is in the Safe Harbor Marina where many of the fishing boats were. Most of the patrons were fisherman drinking and playing pool and telling tales of the one that got away. We sat on the other side to watch. We were in a Tiki Bar. Once you are in South Florida and lower these are everywhere. They don't all call themselves "Tiki Bars" but they have the same exposed frames and thatched roofs.<br />

Bear, a regular, came in. He walks around the bar making sure there is no food left on the floors. He also asks the patron and workers alike if they are all set and need help finishing their meal.<br />

<br />
We were just about to walk back when the rumble of thunder started. Bill went out to look and said we could leave in about an hour. Ok bartender, pour us another round of beer. The thunder seemed to be in the building it self with a low rumble and loud crack. I have notice that here it does not rain. Nope, it sprinkle then pours. Back home in Connecticut it could rain all day. A nice steady rain. Not here, it sprinkles and pours. As Bill says "You are in the tropics now".<br />

<br />
And it poured, and poured and poured. After about an hour we walked back to Enigma. The streets were very flooded. No drains or catch basins here. On the boat we played a few games of dominoes which we haven't done in ages. It is supposed to do the same tomorrow.<br />

It is actually in Stock Island which is part of Key West. Stock Island was supposedly named for the herds of livestock kept there. Another theory is it was named after an early settler.<br />
<br />
Key West is only about 90 miles from Cuba. It is the Southernmost tip of the continental U.S. The name Key West was named so because:<br />
<br />
1.) It is the most Western Key (obviously)<br />
<br />
or<br />
<br />
2.) The Spanish name Cayo Hueso (pronounced Kajo Weso) which literally means Bone Island or Bone Cay. This is because of the bones left behind of some American Indian tribes that used the grounds for a battlefield. Since the Island is mostly coral shells they could not bury the dead, so they just left them there.<br />
<br />
Key West is also the only continental city to have said to have never had a frost, ice or snow. The lowest recorded temperature is 41 degrees in 1886 and the highest is 100 in 1880.<br />
<br />
Salt was one of the major industries here and the number one salt producer for the U.S. until the 1950's when the Army Corp. on Engineers filled them in after a hurricane. Doing this actually about doubled the land mass.<br />
<br />
Of the few beaches on Key West the most popular public beach is Smathers Beach. It is a 1/2 mile long white sandy beach. It has public restrooms and water sports such as parasailing and jet skies. Did I mention it has white sand? Due to the barrier reef the Key does not have waves, therefore no natural sandy beaches. All of the sand here is shipped in.<br />
There is also a beach called Dog Beach. Apparently this is a favorite amongst the canines due to the rocks. No restrooms for mom and dad though. There are also two dog parks. One for the little dogs and one for the larger dogs. As we passed by in the trolley there was a miniature doberman in with a lab. The looked to be friends so I am not sure if the large vs. small is really enforced.<br />
<br />
The Bahamian immigrants were called Conchs (pronounced conk). Presently the residents that were born here are called Conchs. The residents that were not born here are called Freshwater Conchs. Many of the boats and homes here fly the Conch Republic flag that can be purchased at a place on Duval Street.<br />
<br />
Hope everyone has a great day.<br />

Yup, that's ice cream. A little fuzzy. I think I needed to clean my lens. And my camera has been acting up. Well, we had milkshakes instead of sundaes. Just as good. Then we walked over to Mallory Square and went though a few shops. Key West had many businesses in the past. One was sponges from the sea. Here I am with the original Sponge Bob, LOL!<br />

<span style="background-color: white;">We decided to take the Old Town Trolley tour. You can hop on and off at the 12 stops at any time. The tickets are good for two days. And there are no horse and buggy tours here. Sigh. But you could hear the driver/guide with no problem. We got off of the trolley at stop 11 and walked to the Earnest Hemingway Home. I liked his taste. Very simple. This portrait was in his dining room.</span><br />

We then walked around the corner to......yes, an Irish Pub. It was really too hot to eat so we ordered small. Then went to The Bull. It is fun to people watch from the inside. I would have loved to have taken some pics of them, but I just didn't have the heart. You must come here and live the experience.<br />

Tasted like a chocolate shake. Bill started with beer then had a Flying Monkey. He said it was like berries. I loved this bumper sticker on the wall.

<span style="background-color: white;">A storm was moving in so we called a taxi to bring us back. We were hoping it would blow over before the fireworks. Well, by 9:00 there was still a lot of thunder and lightening so off to bed. Then we were woken up by a loud bang. They were lighting the fireworks anyway. Even though the storm. We just stayed in bed.</span><br />

Ventured out to eat, but mostly stayed on Enigma and read or played online games. We did get Enigma and her tender registered in Florida. Since Connecticut doesn't title its boats we thought we would have a problem with the dingy. Enigma is documented so no problem there. The clerks were very helpful and we were titled and registered in no time. We stopped at the Green Cove Springs Park on the way back. This is where the spring is.<br />

The park is nice to walk through.<br />
On the 16th we met with Capt. Cliff. We intend to go outside and with my night blindness a third person is better to have. He has been to Key West before so he knows the good marinas and anchorages to stop in along the way. We left on Tuesday, the 18th. The first leg was on the outside. Seas were high and wind on our nose, so the next day was inside. Then it was inside the rest of the way. Sorry, no pics along the way. The inside is mostly boring. We did stop at the Riviera Marina in New Palm Beach. As always we asked for a face dock since we would be leaving early. This was the boat next to us.<br />

Her SISTA!! Heehee.<br />
<br />
The part of the ICW between Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale was horrible. 29 bridges. Only 1 fixed and 2 opened on demand. All of the others were on the hour and 1/2 or quarter after and quarter of. A power can make each on with no problem. We made a few but mostly had to wait. It was very disheartening to be almost there and be close enough and see the bridge close. One bridge tender saw us and did wait and one knew we were coming and called and waited. Nice guys. Bad T-storms in Fort Lauderdale so we stayed the day. Bill and Capt. Cliff went for more provisions and I did the laundry.<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Next day by Miami to the Keys.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">We arrived in Key West on June 30th. Capt. backed into the slip which was no little task since she walks real hard to port in reverse. We will be here for one month. The docks are fixed but there is not much of a tide change so on and off is no problem. First on the list was getting something to eat and a nice cold drink. Since we knew nothing of the area we just asked the taxi driver to bring us to someplace with air conditioning. That was Turtle Kraals. We stopped at Home Depot on the way back. Our fans would not be enough so we bought an a/c unit.</span><br />

And then to Duval Street, which is where everything is happening. Of course our first lunch was at Margaritaville for a Cheeseburger in Paradise. Soooo good. Then we wandered to the Hog's Breath Saloon. The cab ride was $25.00 each way. Ouch!<br />
The next day we walked up and took the bus. $2.00 each. Much better!! Walked around and went to Captain Tony's for drinks. You will recognice the name in Jimmy Buffets song "The Last Mango in Paris". Here are some pics inside the infamous bar.<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Yup, they have made it this far. They are doing great, have been here for about a week but said they will be moving on soon. They said the people here are not as friendly because they don't like them hanging out in the plaza. It was good to see them though. Pam, I showed them a picture of Olivia. They said "awwwww...another dog?"</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">They do a lot of reenactments here. Yesterday it was Sir Francis Drake's Raid on St. Augustine. The raid happened on June 6, 1586. 23 ships with 2.000 Englishmen under Sir Francis Drake's command approached St. Augustine's harbor. The next day there was a battle at the fort. On the 8th they captured the fort and they drove the Spanish rear guard from the city. Drake then ordered the City sacked and burned, including the fort. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The first reenactment was during the day in the park at the Fountain of Youth. We opted not to go to that. In the evening the soldiers marched down St. George Street. Women running to warn us they were coming yelling "The Drake is Coming!!". </span><br />

<br />
Since Bill and I are now Floridian with our mail going to Green Cove Springs, our Drivers Licenses and our voting registration now it is time to have Enigma be a Floridian too.This will be a process. Since she is a documented vessel we got our renewal in the mail. There is a place to change your mailing address and send it back, OK, but if you want to change anything else, like the hailing port, you need to send in the application and fee as if you were redocumenting. This seemed strange to me since the address is three lines and the hailing port will be three words. So I called to confirm this. The answer I got about the hailing port was "You need to change your address under the managing owner but as for the hailing port, it is up to you. The Coast Guard doesn't care". So for now her hailing port is still in Connecticut. <br />
<br />
Next was the insurance. I emailed our agent to find out if we need a whole new policy to keep her in Florida waters all year. If no, how far south can she be and how much more will it cost. He sent back a note that our current insurance does not cover Florida to stay in after 6/15. He found us another policy the next day that covers us here. Cool. Now the price???? About $30.00 per year less. WOW. Sign us up.<br />

Now the registration. At first we thought we would need to apply for a title, since in Connecticut we don't get one for a vessel, but they do in Florida. Looking into this more it seems that as long as the boat is Federally Documented, which Enigma is, you don't need one. The fee is much less here than in CT for a 35 ft. boat, but more for our dinghy. Oh well. On our next trip to the DMV we will register her here.<br />
<br />
It didn't rain last evening but the sky was puffy clouds and pretty.<br />

So far we only got one comment. I know you guys are creative. We got a good one from Pam and Dave. They suggested Rober, a play on Rover. I took a few more pics for you.<br />

I didn't count how many different kind of toppings they have but I am guessing around 25. Bill just had salt and I had Canadian, which is gravy and cheese. Soooo good.<br />
<br />
We decided to do another touristy thing. We went to the Lightner Museum. It is in the old Flagler Hotel. We were told that Mr. Flagler built this hotel for a place his rich friends could come and vacation. He was a very good business man. Mr. Lightner was one of his friends. When he passed there was an estate sale. Back in the early 1900.s, when there was an estate sale you bought everything, not just an item or two. Both men and their wives were considered very eclectic, so the items in the museum are very different. Many Brides choose this place for their wedding pictures.The grounds are beautiful and kept that way.<br />
<br />
To let everyone know this was his hotel Mr. Flagler had a statue of himself in the front.<br />

Inside there was three floors. There were very interesting things throughout, along with the hotel itself. Most were behind glass and set aways back so bear with some of the pictures. This is a dollhouse.<br />

The next floor was full of crystal. I felt like a bull in a china shop. No pics as I kept both hands firmly behind my back. You will just need to come to St. Augustine and go through the museum yourself. <br />
<br />
On the way back we did walk by the Casa Monica Hotel. Now many hotels have a van or car to pick you up or drop you off. This is the one for this hotel.<br />

Most of us are living our dream. Retired and lines casted off. The weather doesn't even seem to really put much of a damper on things. It is not always sunny in paradise.<br />

This is what the sky looked like most of the day yesterday. It did not stop us from doing the things that we enjoy on and off of Enigma. The thing we like the most when off of the boat is eating. Sometimes it's just burgers and fries or appitizers like nachos or crab legs. Yesterday we went to a little place on Aviles Street. This is an all old brick road with very narrow sidewalks. I really am surprised that they let cars and the trolleys travel on it. It is claimed to be the oldest road in the U.S.<br />
<br />
I had been wanting to try Gaufre's and Goods for a long time. It is a Greek and Polish Cafe. I had Ola's Potato and Cheese Pierogies sauteed with onions. There were six of just the right size to fill me up. Bill had the Borsch, a red beet soup with mushroom dumplings. It was good but not real filling. So we walked to Chianti's. The happy hour there is from 3 to 6. You get two glasses of anything, from milk or soda to wine, beer or any crazy concoction. It comes with a nice slice of pizza. I gave Bill mine since I was full and he just had the soup.<br />
<br />
It kept raining so we just came back to the boat. We had drinks. Even our dog. Now as most of you know Bill and I had rescued dogs, mostly English Mastiffs for over 20 years. We currently have one dog. We just call him Robo Dog.<br />
<br />

<br />
My camera battery ran out right after Bill took this photo. I will get more shots of him soon. Meanwhile, we will still call him Robo Dog unless someone can come up with something better. He has been Robo Dog for about 3 years now but I am sure he will answer to anything. So what do you think?<br />

St. Augustine is just south of Jacksonville. I was up chatting with friends and family and playing Internet games. I am getting hooked on Margaritaville Online. I blame Bill for that. Anyways, we were rocking and bouncing quite a bit with rain pouring down. I sleep very well in this weather. At a little after 1 am Monday I woke up to Bill looking out of the salon window on the starboard side. He said he heard engines and was afraid someone may be in trouble. Who would be out in this weather? It was one of the marina's boats. They were redocking next to us. Everything looked under control so we went back to sleep.<br />
<br />
Monday morning Bill came back from getting the paper. Part of the dock a few slips away had broken. It was blocked off with rope and it was listing a bit. That was why the boat was moved next to ours overnight. The marina has staff on 24/7 including holidays. They walk the docks all of the time. Very nice and knowledgeable people. No damage to any boats here in the marina. The wedding that was scheduled to take place at 6:15 the day before was successfully moved to 1:00. <br />
<br />
Monday afternoon we went to Meehans, an Irish Pub (surprised? I think not!!) for lunch. This place overlooks the bay on the other side of the Bridge of Lions. Bill did point out that Towboat US was going over to a boat moored there in the field. It was far out so we couldn't really tell what was going on and if it was storm related.<br />
<br />
Tuesday was rainy in the morning but the sun came out in the afternoon. Nothing much happening. People that work in the downtown area said that they didn't get as much business as usual. This whole weekend was a washout due to TS Beryl. The city, like many southern cities right now, are in need of rain due to a drought. It's just to bad it happened this weekend. I think someone forgot to tell Mother Nature to check her calendar.<br />

Since it was Sunday we decided to go to brunch. We have been meaning to try this little place we kept passing for lunch, so we went in for brunch. La Pentola claims to have Continental Cuisine. The menu always looked good. Both of us prefer menu/service brunches more than buffet styles so this suited us fine. We sat inside just in case some rain started a bit early from Tropical Storm Beryl. The inside was very nice. White table clothes and all. The food was delicious too. We will need to go back for lunch or dinner. <br />
<br />
The wind was picking up but since the storm wasn't really suppose to hit until either late afternoon or evening we decided to make one stop at OC Whites to watch the Weather Channel . People laughed a bit because I had on a light raincoat. I said it was so it wouldn't rain, like if you want it to rain you hang out laundry. It was really getting windy out now. A group of people came in wondering if it was always windy like this here. Umm no, and a bunch of people pointed to the TV. You didn't know we are getting hit with a Tropical Storm? Really? I think some patrons were thinking "Do you live under a rock?" <br />
<br />
I came into the boat to check the weather again. Bill added some lines and put down the dodger so it would not rip. There was supposed to be a wedding at 6:15 on the Pirate Ship Raven. We didn't think that would happen. The wind was worse and the clouds were darkening and the boats were really starting to bounce. <br />

<br />
We hunkered down with grinders to eat. I was talking to family and friends online and we were both playing games. The rain started around 5:00. Beryl made landfall at 12:10. Just after midnight as predicted.<br />
<br />
Another wonderful day in paradise.<br />

Sunny and hardly a cloud in the sky. Tropical Storm Beryl is a ways off. They say it should hit Saturday Night. But We are not to worry about that right now. The marina is filling up as scheduled. It was a beautiful day to walk around this morning. Nothing opens util 11:00 really. Some stores do open at 10:00 or a bit earlier as it is tourist season. We first went to OC Whites for a cocktail. There was nothing we really wanted for lunch there. But right on course for something to go wrong for the holidays....drip...drip..drip...woosh. down came the water right above the glasses hanging above the bar. Sarah, the manager, followed by 4 waitstaff went running upstairs. Then up went a few more staffers with mops and squeegees. The dishwasher was then right down at the bar with a large tub helping Casey take down all of the glasses to wash. These people work quickly and so well together you would almost think this was a drill. It seems the Pepsi Machine that also makes the ice had a busted line. <br />
<br />
We couldn't take much more excitement so we went to lunch at the Local Heros Cafe. We like sitting near the doorway and watch the people go by. Most people just had on the normal garbs with sneakers or sandals.<br />

That is as far as normal goes. The marina is filling up with transients going north and some for the long holiday. Because of this we were up early to grab a shower before they all did. There are only 2 women and 2 men showers and we were told about 20 boats were in Thursday night.<br />

We also needed to return the car by 9:30, so off we went. Breakfast first. There is always a good breakfast at the diners. The silverstream ones anyway. And there was one in St. Augustine, just a short drive from the marina. We picked up our new boatcards. Went to CVS to pick up a script. Then returned the car. It is really nice that Enterprise picks you up and drops you off.<br />
<br />
Next is the real normal part of our day. In the afternoon we just walked to Trade Winds Lounge for a beer on this steamy day. It was open mic afternoon. Cool, but only 2 guys showed up. They were ok. Something light for lunch. Nachos at Mi Casa. The music there was much better. A glass of wine at OC Whites (I must remember to give Casey some extra tools for jewelry making). Back on the boat it was reading and games.<br />
<br />
Normal for a day in paradise. I'm not going to complain.<br />

We needed to run a few errands. One of which was to go to the Green Cove Springs DMV to get our Florida drivers licenses and to also pick up a few items at different places. Enterprise gave us this cute car/suv. It is a Chevy HH6. And of course my favorite vehicle color, red.<br />

We made sure that we had all of the appropriate documents to change from CT licenses to Florida. So off we went. When we got there it was huge with hardly anyone there. I was up first. All paperwork in order, yup, Answered a few questions, ok. Eye test. What? I have to take an eye test? Well ok. It is on my CT license that I wear glasses. I had lasik surgery done about 7 years ago, so I should pass with no problem.. Nope. No license for me today. Bill did get his. I did remember that last year I knew my left eye got a little worse, so Lasik Plus gave me glasses. We will get them Thursday and go back. Meanwhile, since we had the car we drove to Anastassia Island to a place we have been wanting to go to for lunch. The Conch House. We have only heard good things about this place. It was so nice. We got a nice window seat inside With a nice view.<br />

Lunch was great. We even had a good Key Lime Pie for dessert.<br />
<br />
Next day back to the DMV with my glasses. Still did not pass. What?? My eyes could not be that bad. We came back to St. Augustine to Walmart to get my eyes checked. Only $54.00 for the exam, not bad. Yup, my right one now needed a corrective lens and my left changed a little too. Sigh!! At least Walmart is not expensive so I ordered new glasses, took the form signed by the doctor back to DMV that I was getting them and I finally got my drivers license. Thanks to Bill for hanging out at Walmart and West Marine for 2 & 1/2 hours and driving me back and forth. We also got new boatcards with Enigma in color. Pretty.<br />
<br />
Note: For those of you who have the Walnut Street in Green Cove Springs address there is no #411 but there is a nice old theater for sale on the corner.<br />
<br />
These Florida licenses are soo much nicer. It is the Sunshine State after all. And they are good for 8 years. Nice!!<br />

Oh yes we didReally? No way. From the time we came in to St. Augustine there were two places that when asked about the person (both people that work in the business and people visiting) would wrinkle up their nose and shake their head NO. Not good food. Service is horrible. Of course this to us was like if someone said to you "Don't look down" you would. I wanted tacos. Bill had them at Mi Casa but said they were kinda dry. Just like most pub food is down south. So we went to the mexican restaurant Acapulco. Of course we were expecting the worst. <br />
<br />
It was very dark. The dining area was upstairs with outside or inside seating. Everyone ahead of us was outside and fanning themselves. Silly people. We chose inside with the air conditioning and ceiling fans. The menu was ok with your normal options like tacos and burritos. It had the look of a chain restaurnt. The service was not bad and our food came out rather quickly. The plates were pretty large for lunch specials filled with rice and refried beans, a salad like thing with sour cream and guacamole. OK so far. Now the taste test. Um, well it was warm. My chimichanga was a bit overfried but I just poured the cheese sauce (which was good) over it so I could cut through. Except for the yummy cheese sauce it was kinda bland. Bill usually gets a burrito but these were filled with rice so he stayed away from that. He instead had enchilada. He noted the same thing. Not much flavor. Not spicy. Oh well. Will we go back? Probably not. But it wasn't all that bad. Really.<br />
<br />
Next up was dinner. We wanted someplace with air conditioning again as the passing storm seemed to make it muggier. So we walked over to Santa Maria's next door. We had been their once before and had appetizers. One yes and one no on them. The drinks were good. So we would give dinner a try. The inside dining room was filling up and no one was at the bar, so we decided to sit there. We got our drinks right away. Bill had to flag her back down to get menus. We made our decisions then waited....and waited....and waited. Good thing we are patient people and don't need to be anywhere, and we had our drinks. Finally orders were taken and we didn't need to wait too long for the food. My chicken had an 'Island Sauce'. Thing was it was so smothered in it I had to scrape a lot of it off to find the chicken. My sides were cole slaw, ok, and mashed potatoes. These were delicious. I ate them all. What a shock. Bill had the clam strips with hush puppies, baked potato and cole slaw. He said the hush puppies were real good. Then for the key lime pie called the key lime sunshine pie. Well, he ate most of the inside. My Irish Coffees were excellent.<br />
<br />
So both places on a scale of 1-5. Food: 2 or 3. Drinks: 5<br />
<br />
Today will be much different. We are becoming real Floridians.<br />

What better way than to sit back, enjoy the view and have a martini or two. There is a great little place on the bayfront to do just that. The name is appropriately, TheTini Martini Bar.<br />

They have 4 pages of all sorts of martinis. Okay a real martini, as you know, is gin and vermouth. In my book these are just nice mixed drinks in a martini glass. But hey, I am not going to argue. Bill just opted for a topshelf Black Russian. No martini glass for him. I got a Cappuccino Tini. Yum!!<br />

Those little brown things floating on the top are coffee beans. We sat inside to get out of the sun for the day but we could still see outside. Tow Boat went by towing a sailboat. Sailboats, trawlers and a few small fishing boats went by. And the horse and carriages were in view. This guy was taking a break..<br />

We used to do this a lot, but not so much anymore. The festival was at the marina and they were setting up. This is the view from our boat.<br />

After breakfast we took a nice leisurely stroll through some of the residential streets. We walked by what is supposed to be the Oldest House in St. Augustine, but it looked like all of the other houses next to it. Not really picture worthy. I did see this tree. Well actually two trees. It is a palmetto growing in a living oak. It looks kinda like the oak is hugging it.<br />

Back at the marina the festival was underway. It wasn't a very large festival, as festivals go. The Keepers of the Coast is the organization that puts it on each year. This is the 6th annual. There were lots of educational booths, many of which were geared toward conservation and they were child friendly.<br />

I love the really old ones. So much history. First we entered the Tolomato Cemetery.<br />

We chose the self-guided tour. This one is the oldest planned cemetery in Florida State that the burials in the Spanish Period as far back as 1565. The last burials are in 1884. They were ceased in the city due to health reasons. Bishop Augustin Verot was the first Bishop in St. Augustine. This was his grave and monument.<br />

The said thing in this cemetery seemed to be infants and very young people. By young I mean in their early 20's the the time of death. Yellow Fever and Consumption was the cause of death for most. There were a few with the wrought iron fences and some with stones around the grave, such as this one made of marble.<br />

It is located on Anastasia Island. I figured this would take us about 30 to 45 minutes to go through. Boy was I wrong. There was soooo much to see. Not just alligators. I took so many pictures that the battery just about died on my little point and shoot. I would definitely recommend this as a must see if you are ever in the area. I will stop my babbling now and show some pictures of our Day At The Zoo.<br />

That was just a few things to see. There is so much more. I really do recommend this place. And set aside 2 or 3 hours of your time. 12 noon is feeding time. That was fun to watch. Don't miss that. I didn't do the zipline. It was more an obstacle course in the air with some zipline fun in between.<br />

We had a fabulous lunch afterwords. If you like German or French food the Le Pavillion is great. And very reasonably priced.<br />

They are still looking into us staying another month. They are booked solid on the 26th and 27th. We forgot about the Memorial Day Holiday and made our decision too late. Sam seems like he would really like us to stay since we are quiet, cause no trouble and don't mind being in between all of the tour boats. Just have a few more days. hhmmm. So off we went to the all important errands. First was the bank. The quickest way was through the center green. There was a puppy class going on. Today's topic was socialisation with both animals and people. Since the instructor found out we were not dog shy and even rescued dogs she asked us if we could do a few things. The students were:<br />

Bill was to throw her a treat while her eyes were on Bill but not pick it up until her owner said to. She did pretty well. Then up was Phoebe.<br />

She just had to sit while we were around. She was pretty but very active. It must have taken her 5 minutes to sit so I could get a shot.<br />

I just needed to go under with no food so he could smell my had. He proceeded to try to give me his paw and then eat my camera. Thank goodness he had a soft mouth. I love puppies. Attention span was zero but they are so cute.<br />
<br />
Bill pointed out another well on the other side of the Green. I think this is the oldest one that people were talking about. It is filled with cement and dirt now so no one can fall in.<br />

Off to run the errands now. To that machine at the bank that spews money sometimes. Then the walk to the convenience store to the all important powerball ticket. I would love a bigger boat. But I think most of us liveaboards do. Even though we sized down to move from a home to a boat it seems, just like a home you then start to acquire 'stuff'. UGH!!<br />
<br />
On the way back we passed by the area that they are doing an archaeological dig in a lot on the corner of Cuna and Spanish streets. The college students had found the skeletal remains of a terrapin. We were told earlier that some pieces of glass from the nearby tavern were found along with some teeth. Probably from a brawl outside of the tavern.<br />

I end up seeing things that we passed many many times but did not really stop to notice. Dave from Drift Away mentioned in his blog once to always bring your camera. I am glad he said that because I wasn't going to bring it. I first noticed this old well in the middle of the square.<br />

It was going to rain so we stopped closer to home at the Trade Winds Tropical Lounge. Who uses Lounge in their name anymore. It is kinda dark. Jimmy Buffet played there. As most of you know Bill traveled a lot for work. One place was Seattle. This couple was from there. There was a long conversation with these two about favorite places there.<br />

On the way back I noticed these flowers in the shape of a cross. The base was styrofoam. I was wondering if it blew off from somewhere.<br />

Nothing much to write about. I got a pedicure...woohoo. There was the Colonial Market in the Spanish Quarter Museum yard. Not much there really. They were selling things that they would have a few centuries ago, like sponges from the Ocean.<br />

As you can see I am writing in this blog much later than usual. Today is Mothers Day. Not much is going on. I called my Mommy. I also texted and spoke to a few other family and friends. My friend Beth from CT that lived next door called. She was so excited. She hasn't been able to drive for more than a year. They finally fitted her van with the special controls and can now drive. She drove herself to work on Friday. Now that is a great Mothers Day gift. <br />
<br />
Bill and I went to a Mothers Day Brunch. It seems most every establishment is having them. It is kind of a lazy laid back day, I am catching up on reading. Bill is out walking. I will not be posting tomorrow. This is it for today unless something comes up later in the afternoon, besides the possible thunderstorms.<br />
<br />
Happy Mothers Day to all the great mothers of the world!!<br />

Renting a car was out so we rented a scooter coupe. It was cute, but a little uncomfortable. It drove like a scooter and the drive mechanisms were more off toward the center. No wheel, but a handlebar, like a motorcycle. But she was cute with eyelashes and all. <br />

So over the Bridge of Lions we went keeping on route A!A down the coast. There were many large resorts. We could not even see the Atlantic for most of it. We found where the Alligator Farm was but didn't stop. Too many school buses parked in front. We then went to the St. Augustine Lighthouse which is located on the north end of the island. The first tower built in 1737 no longer exists. The tower built in 1874 is still standing. and working.<br />

The working light was automated in 1955. The original was oil. The keeper carried this can up the 165 feet to the top. I lifted it. It was very heavy. <br />

There are 219 steps with 8 landings. By the first landing my fear of heights kicked in. Bill made it to the top. I then went into the keepers home where the head keeper lived with the assistant keeper and their families. It is just a few feet from the tower itself and is a Victorian styled place. The place has been restored after a fire in 1970 and is now the museum. The living quarters we small but still luxurious.</div>

We returned the scooter coupe and went into the village for lunch. Next stop for me was Potter's Wax Museum. Bill had been to Madame Tussauds so he didn't come in with me. There were many from the history of St. Augustine and others. This is Ben Franklin. I liked him. He liked beer.<br />

I would recommend this for anyone visiting. Back at the marina we ran into some other liveaboards. Sasha lives on a sailboat on the other dock. It had been a long hot day for her. She was just plain pooped.<br />
