Paul and I had a few days off from office work at Little House of Music and me, Miss G from coaching piano students.
We had a lovely time in St. Augustine, Florida. We ate delicious food, shopped until we dropped and view the most beautiful buildings.
Today the heart of St. Augustine retains the distinctive plan of a 16Th century Spanish Colonial walled town, much of which has been preserved or restored. The numerous remaining colonial buildings in the historic district present an impressive array of architecture from 1702 to 1898.
St. Augustine is the oldest European city in the United States. The area was first visited by Ponce de Leon in 1513, but it was Juan Menendez de Aviles who established the first settlement, almost half a century befor the first English settlers landed at Jamestown. St Augustine grew to become the Spanish center of power in North American for almost 20 years. After the Spanish took back St. Augustine from the British the Spanish sold Florida to American in 1821 and left the city. St. Augustine prospered during the Seminole war of the 1830's .
The pictures are of Paul and me, the one in the middle is of Flager College, an outstanding school of art. The building is truly amazing.
If you get a chance visit St. Augustine, Florida. The history is exciting. The fort still is standing from where all the battles took place to own St. Augustine.
