The location/existence of the Fountain of Youth is in dispute but we thought we'd check out De Leon Springs State Park.
We actually came for the pancakes...the site of an old sugar mill has become a cook your own pancake restaurant...mmmmm.
After that breakfast we needed some exercise....Reed thought 65 degrees was too cool for swimming but the water was a lovely 73...plus I told him he would definitely feel like an OLD fuddyduddy if he didn't take the plunge.
We decided to re-visit our youth and made a stop at Daytona Beach....I couldn't recognize a thing except the beach which is still beautiful. For a pristine beach experience Anastasia State Park at St Augustine has 4 miles of gorgeous uninterrupted beach and sheltered campsites - possibly my new favorite Florida State Park
Most of St Augustine looks like any American city but crossing the bridge into the old town area it feels a little like another country.
beautiful old buildings....
great courtyards for people watching....
and plenty of places to stop for a snack :-)
