Today, I embarked on a delightful adventure in the charming streets of St. Augustine, Florida! From my cozy perch in my human backpack, I was excited to explore the oldest city in the United States.
As we arrived, I was immediately captivated by the stunning Spanish architecture surrounding us.
The historic Castillo de San Marcos, with its formidable walls and scenic views of Matanzas Bay, was a highlight! My human even let me sit on the parapets for a photo—talk about a quack-tastic view!
Next, we waddled down the cobblestone streets of the Old Town, where I admired the quaint shops and vibrant colours of the buildings. The smell of fresh fudge wafted through the air, and I wished I could indulge. But what I did get to do was become a pirate! Even if just for a quick picture.
We stumbled upon the famous Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park. My human tossed a penny in for good luck, and I couldn’t help but wonder if a splash of water might grant me eternal youth (or at least a good scrub!). We explored the lush gardens and even learned about the indigenous Timucua people—what a rich history!
With its rich history and charming atmosphere, St. Augustine has undoubtedly earned a spot in my rubber heart. I can’t wait to tell all my bath-time friends about my quacking good time here! Until next time, St. Augustine!
