Photographer arrives at Jacksonville Airport
Just off bus to downtown Jacksonville area
There's my connection to St. Augustine
Arriving Route 1 St. Augustine
Is it gasoline or steam driven?
On the way to my hotel
First outing of the day, seaching for the Fountain of Youth
Could this be it?
Ponce de Leon, arrives in 1513, still guarding Fountain he searched for
Asked here for directions to some sights
Oldest tree and waterwheel on the same street
The old fort, Castillo de San Marcos
Sleeping accomodations more than four centuries ago, bedding stuffed with Spanish Moss
Heat is sometimes needed even in Florida
Attacking the city by boat will lead to trouble!
Sentries on guard 24/7
Do the birds behind the fort sense danger?
PIRATES!
They've landed beyond the range of the guns at the fort!
Just to be safe I'll keep my distance
Meanwhile I'll have lunch at Miss Caroline's Guest House across the street from my hotel
Took a ride after lunch on St. Augustine's nicest street
Later that night
Actual house made out of a huge log
Same log house from other side
St. Augustine at night
Please wait to be seated!
Night Lights in the city

Did I walk all night?
Walking past the hotel I DIDN'T stay at
The Crucial Coffee Cafe
Flagler College
Even the smokestack looks nice
The gate is open!
St. Augustine City Hall
Six St. Augustine Historic Houses
Backyard vats used for boiling up syrup of some type
Trading post gone awry
Also gone awry
Interior of one of the previous houses
Interior of a different house
Old house beyond the museum
The oldest house
Star General Store
End of the day; have to find my way back
The bird points the way back
Goodbye St. Augustine
Route 1 to Key Largo
Stopped to get directions
Just in time for breakfast
The bells of Key Largo
