Saint Augustine
by It is commonly known that St. Augustine, Florida, is the oldest city in North America. But you are doing the city a disservice if this is all you know about it.
It is commonly known that St. Augustine, Florida, is the oldest city in North America. But you are doing the city a disservice if this is all you know about it.
There are wonderful old, traditional golf courses. There is even a golf museum. And the fort is to die for. My kids loved it when they were young teens. They still enjoy it as young men. And the museums can take an entire week to properly peruse.
And the private university there that you may tour for free. There is a double your money back guarantee, folks! Flagler College is its name and I was fortunate enough to have a current student tour guide. The institution is steeped in history and has many old period furnishings. Not to mention the unique architecture inside many of the buildings. It is worth the walk around campus to experience this free goodie.
And there are day tours to enjoy. But the most unique tour is the one at night and features ghost stories and tales. And maybe even a ghostly sighting if you are lucky.
But the true beauty of this historical city is in the nature. Look around. You will never experience another uniquely rich habitat as this. There are many varieties of species. And if you visit one of the nature preserves or parks in May, you will experience seeing all the new youth. It is phenomenal.
There are shopping facilities that you have to walk to properly enjoy. Vendors of all kinds and restaurants for items you have never even heard of before. And, at night, go into any of the local bars to be entertained by a variety of acts during the year. And the food is good also. Remember, we are in Florida where they just caught your dinner.
