Yesterday, dh went to work and left me to my own devices.



I took a cab over the bridge into town and hiked all over St Augs all day, like 8 hrs. The cab driver told me to look down - there was a replica of the Nina and Pinta in harbor. I'll post pix as soon as I get them loaded. Very cool.

In town, there was way too much to see in one day - Ripley museum, a wax museum, the oldest house. ect.

I opted for St George street, and checked out - LOL! - the country's oldest running drug store!

St G's is almost all little shops and places to eat, a pedestrian street. The weather was gorgeous, sunny with a breeze, ahhhhhh....

One little alcove was all art; paintings, pearls and such, really really nice stuff.

I ate coconut shrimp at the Florida Cracker, so good when I told dh later, he ordered me out of the truck, lol.



Great place to spend a day noodling around. Plenty of A/C places to go in and out of, benches to sit and rest, friendly folks to chat with. Fo a few bucks you can get a 3 day ticket on the tour trains, that stop all over, pick up/drop off at your hotel and almost all points in town so you don't have to walk.

Last night we pulled in to Sanford, which is NOT St Aug's/Satsuma at all. Yuck. Dh is bummed he got this bridge instead of Satsuma, but any job is better than none, and it's not like we hafta live right here in town.

It's like the rough side of Dearborn, but twice as much traffic and a lot warmer.
