2011 - Feb. 28 Day 20 Exploring Old St. Augustine

We started the day by going to the snack shop to use the Wi-Fi. After that, we walked over to the Beach Overlook boardwalk and snapped a few pics. From there, we headed for Old St. Augustine.

We parked the car and walked around for a while before deciding to take one of the trolley tours. Our ticket is good for several days, so we'll probably go back tomorrow. The tour has 20 stops and you can get on and off all day long. We got off in the middle of the old shopping district. That was a mistake! Marsha wanted to go into an art gallery, which we have done many times in the past, but this time Marsha found the perfect piece for our "big empty wall." They'll be shipping it to our house. I can't describe it other than to say that it's hammered stainless steel replicas of oyster shells. You'll have to stop buy and take a look after we hang it, or mount it, or display it or whatever you do with art!

We went to Casa Maya for a Cochinita Pibil sandwich recommended by our camping friends, Gary & Andrea. Slow cooked pork with spices. It was delicious!

After the art purchase, we got back on the trolley (my knees were too weak to walk) and went to the San Sebastian Winery. We did the tour and the tasting and we bought a couple of bottles of wine to help me forget about the art purchase.

We got back to camp at about 4:45 and visited with neighbors for a while before starting a fire and cooking a couple of burgers. I dropped the burgers into the fire and we washed them off before finishing cooking them. They were a bit sandy, but good!

It's supposed to rain tomorrow, but we plan to go back into town and visit a museum anyway. I'll try to get back to the art gallery and take a picture of Marsha's purchase. Stay tuned!
