1. I've said it before and I'm saying it again: I don't know about the rest of Florida, but this part has an abundance of state parks, preserves, forests, and other natural areas. I think there are a dozen within an hour of my condo. Gotta love that!
2. There are a lot of people in Florida (it's the third largest state). I hit a traffic jam when I was taking the kids to the airport in Orlando. It took us a full hour to go maybe ten miles.
3. Everyone who's visited has noticed it: there's a lot of sky here. (The last photo is Steve's.)
4. The Old City is completely charming. Where else in the US can you walk down a narrow, pedestrian-only street dating to the 1700s, eating an orange-basil ice cream bar, with a fort, marina, and quaint bridge a block over, a cathedral behind you, and a 1905 Spanish-Cuban restaurant in front of you?
Bye, St. Augustine. I loved your beaches, your Old City, and your surroundings. Save me some sunsets for the next time!
