April 18 St Augustine

Today we spent a full day in St Augustine. Well not really, I went shopping at a local Camping World in the morning; these RV stores are all over the States. If you've ever gone to Travelands retail store in Langley? Camping world's stores are probably 3-4 times the size! Truly everything one needs for "glamping". I needed to get an extension for my sewer hose as some of the parks we've been in have stretched the distances for both my power cord and sewer going in opposite directions. Also picked up some water filters really cheap :)
So anyways we left at noon for the town, we had decided to take St Augustine's variation of the on/off bus; small 4 section trolly's which can drop one off at many various stops but is a fully guided tour for 90 minutes. Very informative and each driver was excellent. We visited the old fort, the oldest street, oldest house in the United States (all from the late 1400's) as well a local distillery which made rum, vodka, and whiskey. After our tour we drove over to Anastasia district with beautiful beaches and homes on the Atlantic waterfront. Had a nice barbeque with distant (and close) thunder and lightning but no rain to speak of. A good day :)

  1. Can't be an original of David - that's in Florence, but looks like a good copy!
