art, cute, figurines, photo -

This photo features some cute figurines I wanted to buy. However, there was not much time to buy anything. Then again, we were in a bus tour. As such, there was not much room to take anything. The only thing I managed to buy was a saber. I do not know how long it was in the sword store. The sword was a saber and it was mostly ornamental. It had no sharp edges. Still, as a blunt weapon it works just as well.   Now, back to the beach girls. Their outfits are like the dresses from the 1930s and...

flower girl, photo -

While in the garden of the fountain of youth, I found this cute little figurine. She seemed really cute with her flower and the tree. There is just so many cute things in St. Augustine. I aim to return there one day and stock up on junk. There is a lot of stuff there. Not valuable stuff, but just artsy stuff. All the places there always have something cool to look at every corner. There is something else to note about the historic sight of the fountain of youth. It had more than one fountain. The guy claimed one hole...

You know you got to the Fountain of Youth if you see a forest filled with Peacocks. Well, at least it used to be a forest before Ponce de Leon go through with it. At least the peacocks still remained. He came to the Americas looking for the Fountain of Youth. He instead found Florida and Cuba. Regardless, this area is a bit of a Museum. It supposedly has the famous fountain. It also has a nice Planetarium. I would have liked to wander about the place a lot, but we were in a strict timeline. The most interesting thing...

dog rules, photo, st augustine, travel -

One has to wonder at the odd things one finds in shops. Its had to imagined that some of these craft items would sell. Still, the lights are still on the shop, so money has to be coming from somewhere. At least the Dog Rules sign is hilarious enough. All in all, this presentation window was by far the most interesting. It is a pity that I visited the shops close to dusk. I frankly prefer not to use the flash. The white light has a way of distorting the colors of the image. Since this is a window image,...

bar, photo -

This photo shows the bar of a restaurant we visited while in St. Augustine. It was near the historical fort. The tour guide from hell suggested we visited the place. He was tired of walking and so we had to stop there. It was not a half bad place. It had plenty of cookie decorations. I never drink, but I can appreciate the work put into this bar. I cannot say the date of the bar. It could be modern or from the 50s. Everything in that city was old. At least there is plenty to look at with the...
