After showers we went into town again to find cards for the grandkids and walked over to the college and the fort. Flagler College, formerly a hotel, has a Spanish Renaissance style and includes 79 Tiffany stained glass windows and an electrical system that was designed for the building by Thomas Edison! The fort – Castillo de San Marcos dates back to 1672 - was continually shooting off its canons during the weekend and it was interesting to see the walls are made of coquina and tile. Beautiful stonework. The city itself, has beautiful architecture, dating back to the 1500’s and with all the little white lights at night, it positively glows. December is a good time to visit Saint Augustine. Going back into town toward evening to mail the cards and have dinner, we ran into Sea Sharp and The Dove at the dock. It was nice to chat with them both & sounds like we’re all planning on leaving tomorrow or the next day to go further south.

We ended up eating at a place called Scarlett Ohara’s. The place looked like it could have been set in Gone with the Wind. They had some beautiful portraits of the characters from the movies. We got to watch the news and eat in a Gone with the Wind décor.
