River’s Edge Marina in St. Augustine is well protected, within walking/biking distance to the city as well as anything else you might need - restaurants, pet & grocery stores, pharmacy, wine, hair salon and much more. And if our legs gave out on the way home, we could have called on our live aboard neighbor Andrew who is a pedicab driver. Or of course, Lynne, who gave us extra mobility for city tours, shopping sprees and dinner at their beautiful new home. 

We have been to St. Augustine’s before but never to the Lightner Museum, the former Alcazar Hotel built in 1888 by Henry Flagler. It was built in the Spanish Renaissance Style and on the bottom level has a swimming pool (the world’s largest at that time) with 3 storied balconies above and Tiffany stain glass windows. The pool is now used by a cafe at the deep end and special events including weddings and symphonies. It was elegant and I coming from yoga was not dressed the part nor did I have a camera so will look for a few online.  

After wonderful wining and dining with Lynne & Steve, yoga and getting everything on our list done, it was time to move on. We didn’t stay the full week because it was incredibly hot up the river. From St. A’s, we made jumps to New Smyrna Beach and Eau Gallie. Next will be Vero Beach to reconnect with Windemere.
