We spent a day exploring St Augustine today and were amazed at the history and the beauty of this area. The town dates back to the 1500,s and has lots of history. St. Augustine is a city in the northeast section of Florida and the county seat of St. Johns County, Florida, United States.[1] Founded in 1565 by Spanish explorer and admiral Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, it is the oldest continuously occupied European-established city and port in the continental United States.[2] St. Augustine lies in a region of Florida known as "The First Coast", which extends from Amelia Island in the north to Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Palm Coast in the south. According to the 2010 census, the city population was 12,975.[3] St. Augustine is the headquarters for the Florida National Guard.
My internet reception is slow here so I'll post pictures later. Tomorrow we are going to work our way north along the coast and will be headed to the Myrtle Beach area.
