I finally had the opportunity to spend two (separate) days in Saint Augustine, a charming town 45 minutes/one hour drive from Jacksonville, full of attractions and activities, I will have to go back to see some more thoroughly. It was impossible to see everything in two afternoons, so due to lack of time, I just walked around in the center and went to some touristic places without making a complete visit.
I went to/by:
– The Great Cross
(208 feet high!)
– Castillo de San Marcos / Colonial Quarter
We even saw dolphins, but sorry I couldn’t take a better picture.
– St. George Street
the street you’ll find most of the shops
– and the surrounding alleys / Old St. Augustine Village
I still have to see: the Old Jail, the Fountain of Youth, the Lighthouse & Maritime Museum, Ghost and Vampire Tours…
