St. Augustine

Business first - the diving guys showed up on time.  They cleaned the prop, our line cutter, and miscellaneous barnacles from our bottom.  Latitudes runs smoother and a little faster now.


That taken care of, we took the marina's launch (water taxi) into town.  Narrow, beautiful little streets.


Air plants along with other plants, growing happily on the centuries old walls around town.


Luke took this great shot of Flagler College from the fountain across the street at the Lightner Museum.


He is perfecting his panorama picture technique - this is a wonderful view of Flagler Collage.


We got into town in time for lunch at our favorite pizzeria, cheap and wonderfully greasy pizza.  It's a must stop when we go to St. Augustine.  Then as the afternoon wound down, we happened on a little Swedish crepe place on a side street.  Oh, yum.  A crepe with caramel sauce, fried apples, and a wonderful drizzle of some sort.

We caught the 5:30 launch back to Latitudes, but by then fog had set it.  It only got thicker after Luke took this picture of the historic Bridge of Lions.


We were afraid it would derail our plans to go to New Smyrna Beach today, but it only delayed us by an hour.  With some help from current in the right direction, we should be there in time for dinner with friends Ret and Joe.
