Old Town St. Augustine, Florida

After going to the lighthouse today, we went to Old Town St. Augustine for the rest of the afternoon. We had lunch at an excellent Mexican restaurant and then took a boat cruise. It was perfect weather and we truly enjoyed the day. St. Augustine is the oldest city in the country and the history here is amazing. We'll be doing more sightseeing tomorrow before heading out on Sunday for Georgia.

twice, but was rebuilt on the same foundation.

The Bridge of Lions. This bridge was

in disrepair and unsafe, so they built a

temporary bridge next to it...14 months

and millions of $$$ later, they were able

to rebuild the Bridge of Lions and make

it safe. They are now in the process of

tearing down the temporary bridge.
