These pictures are typical and if there are streets without people, that is because I took the pictures very early in the morning. There is one section that is missing that is worthy of note. It is the Colonial District, to which we went, but it was so hot and the sun was bearing down on us. We ended up on the venue that were indoors.
The first picture is of the city gates, when the city was walled. For information regarding the history, Googling St. Augustine will take you into much detail about the city,
The men that are in costume were part of r re-enactment that was happening later in the day. There are many "oldest things' in St Augustine. Undoubtedly, capitalizing on the fact that it is the oldest city in America. The oldest wooden schoolhouse is on on of the side streets.
Lovely pics! As I mentioned, my brother went to Flagler College and goes back to St. Augustine every year for alumni weekend, he loves it there, as did I when I finally went there. Even the Flagler college cafeteria is in a gorgeous, historic building! In 2005, My brother was inducted into the sports hall of fame at the college, my parents were able to attend and the very last picture of my mother taken before she passed away very suddenly, was in St. Augustine!
