St. Augustine, FL (sort of) (Pop. 14,329

I had a really rough night, with a splitting head most of the night, and a stuffed up head. To say the least, I didn’t sleep well. This morning, I just lay in bed listening to Dana's gentle snore and was quite envious, but what was I to do? She finally woke around 8:00, and we got up and got the coffee going. After our cup of coffee and some medicine, I felt a bit better. We were just 40 miles north of St. Augustine, and we were just heading there to see what we could see.

On our way south, we stopped at the famous Buc-ee. It is a show for those who have never been to one. It is a supersized gas station and convenience store rolled into one giant ball of circus. This is not the place to stop for a quick fillup and potty break.

Arriving in St. Augustine, we found a coffee shop and sat in the warmth of the sun and enjoyed our hot drinks. We left Goshen on Wednesday morning with precipitation of sleety/rainy cold and dreary day. Today the temps were in the mid-70s and sunny. It felt so good to sit in the sun and soak in the warmth. The drinks were good as well.

We found another Cracker Barrel and parked our PLUM. I took a nap while Dana read a book. We cleaned up, and like a pair of old folks, we sat on the rocking chairs in front of Cracker Barrel.

So nothing exciting happened today, but on trips like this, we don't always want exciting. I did receive a text from my nephew, who is in Jacksonville for "Bike Week". I am not sure what that is and will need to find out. We will meet tomorrow morning at a coffee shop and catch up.

Word of wisdom for the day: we often see people who are quite different from us and sometimes tag them as weird; however, "we are all weird to someone!"Read more
