Yesterday we took a short drive north to St. Augustine. This city is one of the oldest in Florida with history dating back before the pilgrims. It also has the oldest lighthouse in Florida. We drove through the historic old town, ate empanadas at The Spanish Bakery and freshly baked Key 
Lime pie at the Florida Cracker House. The bricked streets in this section of town are very narrow, one car lanes only, with balconies over the street. Very European. This photo does not show the narrowest streets but you get the idea. We saw some g
rand old buildings like this Presbyterian church. Most of old town had items for sale in little shops made locally.

ay in the surf before going for a swim in the hotel pool. The ocean water was cold at first but we quickly adapted to it. Lots of birds line the beach in the mornin
g and in the late afternoon to eat whatever the tide may leave marooned on the beach. I saw a crab quickly skitter back with the surf. It will be hard to leave here today but we also look forward to visiting in Tallahassee with some CMA buddies.
