St. Augustine

-Oldest city in the US.  First established in 1565 by the Spanish.
-very narrow cobblestone streets, old wooden and spanish style  buildings
-lots of art galleries, restaurants and bars, jewelry stores, popsicle and ice cream shops
-spent 2 nights here, lots to see
 - Tons of history here.                                                                           
-5 mph. current in river and running into marina - tough time getting into slip with the tide.  The trawler next to us hit boats on all sides trying to leave.
-a tourist mecca, especially during spring break (like Mackinac Island. Mi,  on steroids)
