A pleasing leisurely drive today. Â From Orlando on I4 to I95. Â Then a short jog eastward to Route A1A, which stays mostly right on the coastline. Beautiful views. Â In St. Augustine I visited a Distillery and Winery. Â Neither offer much serious competition to Kentucky or California.
I stopped by a friend and coworker’s house.  He hasn’t retired yet.  Happily, we talked about our private activities and future plans, NOT about work.  Next week he’ll attend an annual conference that I would normally attend also.  I’ll miss being around friends and enemies.  Not.
I had no idea the coastlines had these towers in WW2.
The coastline had many houses that looked out of place.
When this picture was taken it was both a very windy and cool. I doubt these boards ever got wet.
Fort Matanzas, south of St. Augustine.
This is a beautiful lighthouse in St Augustine. The museum is very well organized.
