We departed New Smyrna on May 13 and spent the nite in Palm Coast , a laid back newly developing retirement area. The folks there were really friendly and we ended the evening by dining with a financial analyst and his wife from Toronto, Canada. The Italian restaurant was superb and we even found a place that served Gelato! The next morning we headed out for St. Augustine passing through the infamous Matanzas Inlet. Again we didn't go aground and nothing or no one got hurt. Captain John and I looked forward to visiting St. Augustine, since neither one of us remember being there before. We were not disappointed. We love it there. A vibrant city full of history,art and music. We toured for two days and met up with our good friend Dick Wilson, who escorted us to all his favorite haunts. Thanks Dick for a wonderful time!!

Me volunteering as a helper in a antique music box demonstration at the Lightner Museum. Why must I raise my hand everytime someone asks for a volunteer. The Lightner Museum is a fabulous place. Visit if you get a chance.
Tiffney Glass Windows at Flagler College. Flagler College was Flagler 's first primo hotel in St. Augustine. The kids now go to school in this awesome facility. The tuition is only about $20,000 a year covering everything but books. The original guests had to pay $275,000(in today's $) for the three winter months they were required to stay AND they got no classes or lectures
The city was beautiful. The beach nice and wide and white. The food was great and lots of upscale art galleries. Music seemed to be everywhere. This is definitely a place to revisit. All good things do come to an end it seems and we need to be out of Florida by June 1 to make our insurance company happy. Next we travel to Fernandino, Amelia Island, Florida and St. Mary's and St. Simon, Georgia
