What a day ~ Hunting Pirates and Treasure

So we decided to stay in St. Augustine for yet another day.  We didn’t get all the visiting in we needed to so we stayed an extra day.  

We started the morning back at the Old Jail House with inmate Charlie and Sheriff Joe

Grandpa goes to jail

Early finger printing kit

Stove in the jail house

This man was hung for killing his wife. His last request was that his picture was taken and mailed to his daughter

Two bunks in the jail

A short stop for a Greek Salad for lunch

Then onto the old Mercantile and Store

Amazing old shoes, corn chuck-er  spices, tonics, bicycles and washing machines, whatever you need they will sell it to you – only thing, two weeks to deliver

Ointments, and tonics & worm medicines 

A butter churner

Then onto a Pirates Adventure, looking for treasure, gold, coins, ruins and artifacts

Pirates engaging in a barter over gold and trade

Then looky what we found clay pipes from the 17oo’s, remember the one I found beachcombing?

A gold ring under a magnifying glass

We stood by while this pirate had his eye removed

Silver coins that have been recovered from the bottom of the ocean out of a shipwreck 

Well that is our day, long and tiring, we took a long walk through the white lights of the cobblestone streets and shops after dark tonight and stopped at Scarlet O’Hara’s Restaurant

I’m thinking tomorrow morning we will rise and shine with the sun and have a couple of eggs and Canadian bacon then get on the road and head South towards Orlando. Perhaps we will stop on the way and I’ll be sure to let you know.

bye for now, xoxo Cindy
