St. Augustine is the oldest city in America dating back to the 1500's. It changed hands several times among the Spaniards, French, and English before becoming part of the USA in 1821. We spent the day in museums and walking around the town. The living museum had well versed guides that talked about what they would have done in the 1700's. The calligrapher worked for the church recording birthdays, etc. The old town has many shops catering to tourists. The building in the photo is an office building. We ate dinner out at a garden restaurant across from the Spanish fort.
