St. Augustine, FLN

Nov. 15-17, 2020. 

Under the Bridge of Lions and into the City Marina, we then met Albert and Sarah for drinks at AIA Ale House and eventually dinner at Harry's. They know the town well and were great tour guides. The entire city is lit up with their annual Night of Lights and it is a magical place to be with great weather (albeit windy) and the beautiful and festive town.  St. George Street is a fun pedestrian street within the original walled city, marked by the original City Gates.  The next morning we walked the town, ate breakfast at the the popular Maple Biscuits Company and then hopped on the trolly tour to get more history.  The Castillo de San Marcos National Monument is the oldest surviving fort in the US dating to the mid 1700's.  There are many sights here built by Henry Flagler (Standard Oil and RR) including the original hotel which is now Flagler College. Met up again with some more boaters we've met along our journeys for drinks. After taking in more of the festive feel of the city we caught most of the Vikings game win.  Overall this charming town is a place to return to whenever passing by.
