After lunch in Leesburg, Florida we drove to St. Augustine, Fl.

St. Augustine is the oldest permanent European settlement in North America.

Follow the link above to read the interesting history of the city and the area.

There are beautiful buildings and lots of palm trees.

The photos below are of the Ponce De Leon Hotel and Flagler College.

There were churches everywhere. IMG_1402Even the dogs dressed for the day.

Late in the day we left St. Augustine and drove to Savannah.

I do hope to return some day to spend more time in St. Augustine.
