In St. Augustine is a fort that dates back to the 1700s. We loved the late afternoon light shining on the old stones of the fort, and as the sun began to set, we got some beautiful shots over the water, with the full moon beginning to shine above the sunset. We wandered all around the outside, took a ton of photos, and watched the moon rise.
As we left, we chatted with a park ranger about the fort, and he told us about the film crew that was shooting scenes here tonight. We were heading into town to see more of the old section with its stone buildings, then chose a Cuban restaurant for dinner. We had window seats overlooking the waterway and bridge, and could watch the horse-drawn carriages go by. The paella for two that we chose was very, very good, and so was the wine I had with it. Dave had a margarita with his dinner.
After dinner we walked back through town, which was very lively even at this late hour. Our rental car was right where we left it (not that I expected otherwise), and we drove back across the bridge to our little motel and crashed. The room is small but clean, and the bed was very comfy. A good thing: we're driving to Savannah tomorrow, and the alarm will go off early.
