Well sorry that time got away from me. The Christmas rush and all Haha. Not really. Just really enjoyed St Augustine, the oldest city in the United States. The Spanish influence is everywhere, especially in the architecture. The city is definitely a vacation destination at Christmas time ( they brag that they are top ten in the world for Christmas lights). It's true too, it's like daytime at all times of the night. Christmas Eve things were bustling--everyone was out and Merry. There were dozens of trolleys and horse drawn carriages with singing and shouts that we all have a wonderful Christmas. The candle light service was standing room only and when we all lifted our candles together and the pastor claimed light has come into our world, we all sang Silent Night and believed. We put a lot of miles on our legs walking the steet mall and biking to Anastasia State Park. Oh yeah don't forget the almost two mile walk to Winn Dixie and West Marine (each way- we did that three times on our eleven day stay). With all that excersize you'd think we lots a few pounds, but no, we had to good of a time at the many pubs and grills. Well, again sorry for the delay in updating. Hope to keep you better informed of our adventures.

This guy could make it sound like he had a full drum kit. It was amazing.
