We left Savannah and headed down to Florida today. There were no roads along the water so it was kind of a boring drive.
Our hotel was 50 yards from the beach so we went down for a swim after arriving in the afternoon. That’s Val in the background behind my left ear enjoying the beach (before the bugs started biting her). Florida has lots of nasty bugs turns out.
Turns out it’s really difficult to take a self portrait while body surfing. This is the best shot I got.
Neat beemer with sidecar in St. Augustine.
St Augustine has a fort that is apparently the 1st or the oldest or something like that. Pretty cool either way. We got there in the evening after it had closed so unfortunately we couldn’t get in.
The walls of the fort were made of shells and sand. I’m kind of surprised it’s held up so well for so long.
We think this wall was used for firing squads.
They had a furnace that was used to heat up the cannon balls before they were shot at wooden ships. I guess if you can’t sink them, you may as well burn them. Or the burning aided in the sinking…
Fishing boat.
Draw bridge. :)
What kind of crab hangs out under the sidewalk a few hundred yards from the beach? This one I guess.
Water wheels look fun at night.
St. Augustine was pretty touristy, but as we walked around and got off the main roads it was more quaint and fun. It would have been nice to spend some more time there.
