reminder - artwalk in two weeks

This is a friendly reminder that the St. Augustine Artwalk starts in only two weeks, and then occurs the first weekend of the month after that. We're going to be heading to Orlando in January and may try to take a detour East to St. Augustine, America's oldest city, on the way down to Disney World. St. Augustine is an awesome little town, thick in history and bathing in beautiful beaches and winter sun. My brother checked it out when he was stationed near Jacksonville and had nothing but good things to say about the town. If you're anywhere near the vicinity, or simply looking for something culturally stimulating to do, or if (like us) you want to get away from the cold and the snow for a week or two, you should check it out.

The First Friday Weekend Art Walk is absolutely free. There is no admission cost and the trolley even offers complimentary transportation to most of the galleries.

While you're there be sure to also check out the Castillo de San Marcos, an original Spanish fort built in 1695. The city also offers ghost tours to some of the most haunted establishments in town, including the Spanish Military Hospital, Old Drug Store and Old Jail. Or if you're feeling a bit more "touristy", there's always the Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum.
