Photoessay #2037 - The Veranda

Tomorrow we go home.  I plan to feature the porch on the second floor at Oveido House where we are staying.  An older home with a great location, right at the edge of the best kept secret, Flagler College.  And right at the edge of the downtown St. Augustine where there is tons to do.

There's a folk concert down there this evening that we'll attend.  Or part of it.  Our friends whose family owns this place, made sure that somebody dropped by their beach chairs, which we have used.  But they're old and they weigh a ton.  Carting those things the six or eight blocks to the Marina area is not an option.

Today, we returned to the beach because I wanted to go swimming in the warm ocean.  Put on my bathing suit and really go in.  And I did and stayed in quite a while in the gray green water of the east coast of Florida.  Am I ever pooped out!  One difference with this sand, very sneaky, it looks like you've brushed it all off but it makes it's way along with moisure into anything that's touched the beach.  I enjoyed being in the waves though.

Farewell to St. Augustine, we've enjoyed it, haven't seen half of what's here!
