St. Augustine is charming. We toured the fort, the oldest house, the beautiful museums and Flagler College, the old Spanish Quarter, the local lighthouse. The only glitch in the plans was that the early heat drove us to a marina, where we could have air conditioning on the boat. Still, we lucked out and had a slip with a gorgeous view of the marsh.


ST. Augustine was great fun as we had a chance to reconnect with Cookie's cousin Suzette and her family and our old friends from days in Madrid, Paul and Manila Clough.
