Blue Line Sky

It caught my eye.  Looking forward to getting home soon.

Giants in Jacksonville

Waiting in the Jacksonville Airport. 
I thought this interesting enough to share.

Argh

This guy was standing on the side of San Marco Blvd.  I wish I knew how to change the orientation of the image so that you could easily see him.  Since I can't you will have to tilt your head to the left.  Arggh.

St George Street

It was a beautiful day walking down St. George Street.  It was not far from this spot where the drunken pirate wanted to beat me up because I was waiting to take a picture of the old school house.

The Fort

Cool.  Free admission today in honor of veterans day.

The Great Cross 2

The Great Cross.

The fountain

The Fountain of Youth

Shall I bring some samples back?

A little behind.

I have two posts that are hung up because the free WiFi in the room is terrible.  They will likely end up being published after I return to Chicago tomorrow.

Unlike Baltimore, St Augustine's weather is cooperating. 
I am kicking myself for having so much fun (translation - alcohol) at the wedding because it has led to my late start today. 

Not sure I will get to spend any time with Donna as she will be busy with her family all day.  I am so happy she is getting this time with all her children.  The wedding was beautiful.

My plan for today - the old jailhouse, the fountain of youth,  our lady of the milk shrine,  Ripley's, the fort, the bridge of lions, the oldest house, and anything that catches my eye in between.

Travel karma?

I have been long in need of an nd filter for my camera.  I decided to look for one while here in St Augustine.  I looked for a place online and found one in the shopping district (very cool btw)  and no-one seemed to know of it.  I decided to walk around and se what was here and I walked up to what appeared to be an arcade of shops and rather than walk past I peered in and saw the name of the shop I was seeking.  He opens at 10 am.  I hope my luck holds out and he has what I need. 

The Morning After

I exhausted myself so I could fall asleep without thinking about my prior room and it's inhabitants.  I woke up and found all the lights in my current room were still on. I checked for movement Before venturing to place my feet on the floor.  Once I felt safe, I went to the bathroom and then looked to make coffee and found I had another visitor. The picture is blurry because I was in a rush to capture, kill, and flush the critter.

I will be checking my bags thoroughly before packing.  I don't want to bring any stowaways with me.

Second Room

The first room was occupied.  I killed one bug on the wall then found one in the night stand.  I hope I can sleep.  More than that I pray that I am the only occupant in this room.

I love my babies

No matter what, they always find the new box in the house.

Airports

Does anyone really enjoy being at the airport?  For me, airports and flying are necessary evils that get me to fabulous destinations and home again.  Ironically, the airport Potbelly's and the Baltimore Hilton were the best part of this trip (outside of the summit of course).
The attached picture is taken from the gate.
Odd how the sky looks so beautiful compared to what I experienced during my stay here.  Perhaps an indicator of things getting better.

Mobile post test

This is a test of my mobile capabilities. Hopefully, this tool will allow me to post on the fly.

This is not the greatest photo, it is just intended for testing purposes.

The first test post

The view out the window of the hotel room that I have called home for the last week.
I  hope to make better use of this blog in the future.  This will provide me with the vehicle to share my journeys with my friends and family.

This is just a test.
