AT ST. AUGUSTINE
The cold front came through and the temps dropped to the 50’s. It rained Fri. night, Sat. night, with occasional rain or showers on Sun. In spite of the weather we did all the tourist routines. We took the 3 day pass for the trolley tour. This is one of those trollys that let you on and off at any of the 15 stops on the tour. It worked out well as stop 11 was just across the bridge from the boat. Among the things we saw was the Ponce De Leon Hotel, now Flagler College, & Fort Matanzas, built by the Spanish to defend St. A. from the English in 1672 ( http://www.nps.gov/foma/historyculture/index.htm). We also saw the oldest house, the oldest apothecary, and several museums. St. Aug. has many good and interesting restaurants. The first night we ate at a Polish Greek Restaurant where we ate beet soup, hunter stew, and pirogues. The best food we had was at the Columbia, a Spanish tapas restaurant. We had a tapas of mussels with chourice in a delicious sauce that was so good we went back a second time.
