I decided (last minute, because that’s how I roll) to check out Saint Augustine at sunrise this morning, along with a nice quiet walk around historic downtown. I got down there around 6am, sunrise was at 7:27am. Strolling through the streets before sunrise was quite calming. And there were a couple of other people jogging & exercising as well.
The sunrise over the bay was spectacular! I got back to my truck around 7:30 and since my goto breakfast joint in Saint Auggy, Nero’s Waterfront Cafe doesn’t open till 8am I decided to sit back on the sea wall and take some pictures.
If you want, quite literally, THE BEST corned beef hash, in the entire world, then this is your place. It’s an odd spot because it’s 3 different things in one building, A café, a bed & breakfast and a Martini bar. Needed a little pick-me-up so I decided to try their Expresso Martini. WOW, great drink, but keep it to 1, it’s strong!
I always wonder (but never honestly care) what people think about some single dude, sitting at some restaurant, mindlessly staring over at whatever view is outside the window. When I travel, I tend to pick eateries close to beautiful view.
After I was done eating and taking in the view, I was debating heading to walk around the fort since I still had an hour and a half on the parking meter. But I decided to call my buddy to see if he was down for some fishing.
Met up with Joe-Cool at Guana (GTM). It was a great day, not too hot at all, but, after about an hour or two, we didn’t catch anything. Even the people to the right and left of us packed up and left because they weren’t catching anything either. So, we decided to jump across A1A and try our luck on the beach. Joe-Cool caught a whiting, but he popped off the hook before we could get a picture.
All-in-all, even though I didn’t get on a trail or in a kayak, it was a great adventure today! Even though nature soothes my mind, just getting away is also a major stress reliever.
Happy Camping!
See you on the trail!
