After arriving in St. Augustine on Thursday afternoon we caught a mooring ball at the municipal marina by the Bridge of Lions. We walked part of the city and decided to save the rest for Friday May 10th when we caught the Red Train Trolley for the complete tour of the town. St. Augustine is the oldest city in the United States. This is a very historical spot to visit. A day and a half is not really much to see what all this city has to offer. The mooring field itself is a beautiful sight set next to the Bridge of Lions. Then comes the St. Augustine Fort which saw its share of battles looking across the intercoastal waterway. Down from the fort is the Fountain of Youth discovered by Ponce de Leon. Yes, we did visit this historical spot and drank from the fountain of youth. Maybe we will live for a long long time! Flager college is here and so are so many grand old buildings and churches. Quaint shops line the brick streets. Nowhere will you find a fast food or chain store of any kind. Days like this one with good company always end too soon.
