Day 43 of now "now returning from the Keys" 1/21/13

Well our last day here in St Augustine and we had a wonderful day, touring and weather, was great!!! We left early this morning after taking Lexie to shore for a good morning adventure (pic is attached) She sure enjoys the dinghy ride!!!!
We started our morning riding over to Anastasia Island across the bay from St Augustine. Very quant little island and stopped at a little breakfast place named Ms. Sara's. The entire restaurant held a max of 16 customers, we had the special, homemade sausage and gravy biscuit! YumYum!!! We rode about 2 blocks to the Lighthouse and did the whole tour thing what a wonderful 3 hours! 219 steps to the top of the lighthouse with a view that was Incredible. We could see our boat across the island in the bay at anchor. Pics of the day are attached! We both love a lighthouse so we enjoyed the history and wished so much that the Georgetown lighthouse could be seen like this to all it's visitors.
We then decided to stop at the Alligator Farm and Zoo just down the street and Rodney was in his element!! he does love and Alligator. Ha some beautiful birds of which they had shows having the birds talk and do tricks, and telling about them and how long they have lived here at the zoo. I will attach some of the pictures I took there also. A great ride back to the boat this evening with another quick stroll through the old part of St. Augustine while enjoying a gourmet cup of coffee. We have had a great time here!!! I wish I was able to get a picture of our Hugh tandem bicycle laying across our dinghy getting it back to our boat. People are amazed!, Ha But Rodney does it with such ease!!!
Leaving early in the morning headed north toward home. Hope to make Jacksonville by evening!!
Love to all, Fran
