St. Augustine, FL

We began our walk at St. George Street in St. Augustine.

Note the balcony that is common to many

early buildings.

 

You can see the sign says this is the oldest

wood school house.  Along this stretch of

the street, no cars are allowed.

 

My eye caught the elegant handiwork on these

linens.

This is the fountain in the garden of the

Columbia Restaurant.

 

Here is the garden of the St, Augustine

Foundation.  You can see a statue of Isabella

riding a horse.  I am fond of the Italian cypress,

which are the six thin, yet tall, shrubs in the

center of the photo in the background.

Flagler College.

 

Here you can see the Castillo de San Marcos in the

background.  It was built to protect the Spanish

colony in St. Augustine in the early 1500's.

 

This 60 foot cross marks the Spanish mission

of the Shrine of the Lady de La Leche in

 St. Augustine.  It is easily

seen from Route A1A coming into town

from the north.
