St. AugustineFlorida |
 |
America's "Ancient City" has many areas to visit, including Flagler College, Lightner Museum, Castillo de San Marcos and of course the old city itself.
| John's Trip Comments | Does not require more than a day to visit (including a tour of Castillo de San Marcos) and the narrow streets (no motorized vehicles allowed) make you feel you are walking on a wide sidewalk. More unique shops compared to many tourist locations make for a slow liesurely stroll with many opportunities to stop for lunch or dinner. Would recommend spending an evening in the area if at all possible. |
| John's Personal View | I like historic St. Augustine and consider it to be one of my favorite places to visit. The shopping experience is unique as you can literally walk across the street ( maximum of 20 feet ) within a few steps and the stores never seem to wider than 20-30 feet. I definitely know that Kathy loves it, as we have always brought something back that is different than most tourism locations. Also when your feet begin to ache, there is always a pub where you can sit back, relax and listen to some great music. |

Hilton St. Augustine Historic Bayfront The charming, vibrant Spanish Colonial Period structure consists of a "hollow square" design, in this case, 19 different buildings set around an inner courtyard and connected by an interior corridor. The buildings were inspired by the Second Spanish Colonial historic period, with wooden balconies, cedar-shake & tile roofs |
