It's not that I didn't post yesterday, it's that I posted twice the day before so I figured I was good. Yesterday was mostly a travel day from Michigan to Florida. All ran smoothly. Ilana and Matt dropped us off at the airport before noon and by later that night, they got the truck, went to IKEA, loaded up the truck and moved to Indiana. Pretty good.
St. Augustine has lots of things to see. We're staying at Oveido House in one of the apartment which has worked out very well. It's pretty dark inside here during the day, my only complaint. We're right near the downtown, lots of walking. Weather perfect. Out come that shorts and t-shirts.
My picture today comes from the courtyard from Flagler College right nearby. In fact, the tennis courts from the college are right across the street. The college is headquartered in a former grand hotel from the 1880s with really over the top decoration, all restored, all beautiful. Liberal arts undergraduate school. With, (get this!) tuition plus housing cost only about 20K. Unheard of! I paid this much for Naomi to go to Washington State. The campus seems very well appointed, what's not to like about this place?
We took the tour, I think this is a hibiscus. An example of a picture right out of the camera, nothing else needed. You can see a tower from the grand hotel to the left.
Last night we tried a local Cuban restaurant down by the water. Excellent! Plus they were holding a planning meeting for a local chapter of LAMA (Latin American Motorcycling Association) at the next table. "Anybody can join; we are a family-oriented organization!).
We walked around the town today, went to the fort, debated whether to buy a 3 day pass on the trolley thing. Had a short (practically for free) right on one of the horse-drawn carriages. Freda had another place on her list, up the road in Globalization Central, turns out that it's a chain restaurant. But it was really good.
We've got a place picked out for tomorrow. There's local convience store/pizza place around the corner, I see h ow you could operate just out of that place.
Oveido House has a lovely veranda.
From Florida, guys!
