The Oldest City

St. Augustine is known as the "first coast" and the "oldest continuously-occupied European-established city and port in the United States."

Great archictectural details.

This magnificent building was once the Ponce de Leon Hotel, built around 1886 by railroad and hotel magnate, Henry M. Flagler.

In 1968, it was converted into a liberal arts college, which is still its function today.

The inside's as beautiful as the exterior.

Cool lion entry sentries!

A gospel choir out practicing for an event.

If they were going to get their picture taken, they figured they might as well look their best! Don't they look great?! And they sounded just as good!

Neat old bricks.

More neat old bricks!

Old, narrow, uneven roads and sidewalks - lined with neat, old, uneven bricks!

Neat old places on the old, uneven streets.

Perfect spot for a horse-drawn carriage ride...

Pretty beach at sunset (love the sand design).

Unfortunately, we got to this spot too late - they were closed. Darn, the Fountain of Youth was closed!! Can you believe it? We drove all that way and weren't able to partake of the Fountain of Youth! Just had to go away, still old! Sheesh!!

Oh well...on with the show. But I hope the Fountains of Wisdom, Good Looks, and Good Luck are all still open!!!!
