Started the day early, finally getting a little writing time in, working on a book about the behind scenes stories of wildlife conservation. We’re at Verlano Beach, a peninsula adjacent to St. Augustine with a wonderful RV site. After breakfast Tina and I walked to a pier right outside the RV, where Tina feed pelicans and gulls cut up chicken (so much for dinner tonight). It was amazing how close the birds got to Tina. Afterwards we headed in to the historic city of St. Augustine, where we viewed the entire city on a guided tour. Founded in 1565 by Spanish explorers, it is the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement within the borders of the continental United States. We visited Castillo de San Marcos which is the oldest and largest masonry fort in the US, Ponce de Leon’s Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park, and a host of other historical sites. Tina and I drank from the fountain of youth and my hair has already grown back on my head and Tina is now a redhead 😁. Since we fed the pelicans our dinner this morning, we settled on eating dinner at Aunt Katie’s, a local restaurant within walking distance of our RV eating fried gator tails, seafood, and meatloaf for Tina. It was a day to remember! Tomorrow we head for Ormond Beach outside of Daytona.
