My, my Chuckles! You seem to have had a bad time in St. Augustine.

Boring and ugly? Hardly. Hot and touristy? Yes.

I went there when I was a child on a family vacation, but it looks like a better place to go as an adult (minus the Kramer-in-his-good-days ad!)

That Bridge of Lions is cool! I would love to stroll along there!

My partner’s family is originally from St. Augustine and she utterly loves it there. It’s such a gorgeous city and so full of history, I don’t see how anyone could not love it. She very nearly went to Flagler College and I think the fact that she chose not to is one of her greatest regrets in life.

Thursday Thirteen is a great idea. Maybe I’ll give that a try.

Ha, just saw that little remark:

“Aside: The comments link is at the top of the post, people!”

LMAO
I have the same problem on my site. Who would’ve thought that this template was so hard to figure out? I’m sorely tempted to move the comment link to the obvious place at the end of the posts, but then again, maybe not.

Looks like a cozy little place. Unfortunately I haven’t made it to Florida yet. As soon as I have more money again I’ll have to have a go at it.
I’m just still giggling when I see anybody calling something built in 1883 “old”. That is so cute. I think I actually lived in perfectly average houses that were older than that. )
The town I live in is more than 1100 years old and just around the corner from my street they found a Neanderthal skeleton a few years ago, so “old” really has a different meaning over here in Europe.
But then again, Americans are actually not half as funny as New Zealanders in that respect. Down there, it seems like everything that is more than 50 years old is called “historic” – my friends and me always burst out laughing at seeing these markers somewhere. LOL

What a great list – you totally made me want to go and visit there (and want one Amaretto Sour).

You make it sound so fun! I especially like that you included a lot of the historic sites.

here a link to my other T13 (the book one is more boring this week):
