One of the reasons we decided to go to Florida was to reconnect and visit with my only paternal uncle that I hadn't seen in years. We were very excited to spend time with Barry and his wife Terri in St. Augustine. St. Augustine is the oldest city in the United States and Barry was a great tour guide showing us all around. We enjoyed St. George avenue with the quaint shops and yummy treats. We then explored the Castillo de San Marcos fort on the shore in St. Augustine.
We then continued our walking tour through Flagler College and other historic buildings and hotels in the area. We walked down Aviles Street...the oldest street in America!
After finishing our round trip walking trip all over downtown St. Augustine in the humid heat of the day we headed to the St. Augustine lighthouse to climb the 219 stairs up to the top! It was quite a hike up there and it was super hot inside that tower, but up top was a welcome breeze and beautiful views of the area.
St. Augustine is a very fun place to explore and we got a great behind the scenes and informative guided tour by Barry. It was so good to do some catching up and there was still more to come....
