St. Augustine, The oldest City

We've anchored north of the Bridge of Lions in the oldest city in the US for a day or two to rest and replenish some supplies. It's amazing how tiring driving and trying to work on the boat at the same time all day can be. We've completed several 10-12 hour days on the ICW over the last week to get to our destination.

The downtown area is beautiful and full of history but also full of tourists and some homeless folks. We had a walk around town and found our favorite libation (ice cream) at a little Irish Pub where we met the owner who refurbishes old paddlewheel riverboats that he charters for cruises and such (he's living aboard one of them). Another interesting person we've met and traded stories with along the way.
