Saint Augustine Fun

Hello to all from Brunswick, GA.  We met up here with some friends from Urbanna on Thistle - Ed and Mary Ann.  

Below are pictures from our trip to Saint Augustine and our visit with Ashley and Rick there.  The four of us had a great time - we toured the city, wined and dined, relaxed on the boat, walked on the beach and enjoyed the wildlife.  Next year Katherine and Ted need to join us.




Ponce Inlet Lighthouse

Daytona Speedway Bridge (notice the manatees painted on the bridge supports)


Spanish outpost on Rattlesnake Island (no volunteers here for that duty)


Street in St. Augustine

Flagler College dining room (the college buildings used to be the Ponce de Leon luxury hotel)
Ash and Rick admiring the amazing room.   Picture does not do justice.

School time for the four of us.
Amazing rules!

One of the lions guarding the Ponce de Leon bridge.




Ash and Rick chilling on the flybridge (literally and figuratively as it was cool the first night)


Lunch at Anastasia Island beach front restaurant.

Rick and Ash getting ready to leave.  
 Bit of trivia for all:   Ponce de Leon's first name was Juan.  I always thought it was Ponce.   The initials it appears he used were  P de L.  Has a nice symmetry.

Regards to all,
Bill and Ruth
