We had a shortish day from Palatka to St Augustine and checked in to the campsite at the state park at Anastasia for 2 days. Met Ruth and Mary Jo there who had just completed San Diego to St A and had had a celebratory swim in the Atlantic ocean.
Had a brilliant day yesterday, Sunday, in the historic and quaint town of St. Augustine. Enjoyed the alligator farm ( a zoological park really and no ` farming` as such - it's called the Alligator Farm for historical reasons it being one of the oldest tourist attractions in Florida) , especially observing the wild birds that fly into the farm and nest there, under the gaping jaws of the alligators!
Today, had a most helpful south wind blowing us up to Jacksonville beach and now about to cross ferry to Little Talbot Island State Park. We are meeting Dick and Martha Stobbs there, who will join us for the next few days on our way to Savannah.

2 A beach wedding that reminded of us Bateau Bay, but not in the same league !
3 St Augustine back street - note - no luggage - bliss.
4 Ditto - some beuatiful old buildings in St A
5 Aligator Park close to Anastasia State Park where we camped 2 nights.
