We decided to go to St Augustine. None of us had ever been and it has not been a disappointment. It’s actually just about two hours from
Orlando but we decided to get a little Airbnb and make a get away out of it.
Our first stop was the fountain of youth archeological park. It was fun. We drank from its waters (tasted bad), watched the demonstrations, and learned a little history.
Next we went to the Colonial Quarter and walked around. There were so many cute cute shops and little museums, old building and quirky unique galleries and restaurants. We ate at the burger bucket, everyone liked it.
After that we went to our house. It’s cute, little, old, right on the canal, and allows dogs. We grabbed some groceries and unpacked before heading back to town for our ghost walk.
The ghost walk was more fun than I had anticipated. Our guide was a good story teller and she shared lots of entertaining and historical stories of pirates, raids, plagues, fortunes lost and found, tragedies and love. I think we all enjoyed it a lot. The city is the oldest one in the US and it’s fun to walk on the cobbled streets and past the cathedrals, colleges, fruit trees and to imagine the generations of people who have walked those roads before.
