St. Augustine days; a photo blog

Good morning! This was an AMAZING morning actually!
I also have a killer video of these guys, but I can't get it to upload, sorry!

Pretty dolphin off our bow, gorgeous blue water,
 this is my kind of day!

Coming into St. Augustine, by far our nastiest inlet approach,
with 15 foot seas against the current,
 as steep as the walls of a cathedral.
Pictures never do it justice...
plus taking photos, not exactly top priority
 when in these conditions!

St. Augustine Lighthouse viewed from our mooring ball.

Coming into St. Augustine, seriously gorgeous city!!
Kind of want to move here.

Stepping onto St. George Street can feel like stepping back into time.
Check out the Textiles & Colonial Goods Merchant, our friends run this
store, & it is definitely worth a browse about.  They sell gorgeous
period clothing & the guys are a wealth of knowledge.

Very good advice, as any seafaring soul can tell ya!

At the Taberna del Gallo, our favorite bar, Ever (see
the bartender, Bill, in period costume, so cool)!
I would post a video of the Bilge Rats performing here
but I seemed to have forgotten my vocals would also be
on the video, closer & thereby louder... alas, no video of the
phenomenally fun Bilge Rats shantying it up.

Haha. Almost every time we sat down at the Tavern
 I would have a moment of panic,
 thinking I needed cash, then relief! Letters of credit, indeed!

Dinner with new friends, Katherine & Alan; met them
at their Bilge Rats rehearsal.  We ate at Madre's, a yummy
little taco spot which most importantly was still open
after the late night of shanties, sangria and grog.

 Fort Matanzas

The Lightner Museum

Flagler College, and viewed in the next picture as well.

And what's a great vacation without a little face painting at a bar!

This was one of my faces for Halloween! 
Happy times in St. Augustine!

All in all, St. Augustine totally fulfilled the fun quota of a fantastic vacation, one I will never forget... even after all the grog!
