St. Augustine Update (and a bird)

Here's a bird that hangs out in our yard everyday. He always makes his presence known with his amazingly loud calls.



Our trip to St. Augustine- the oldest city in the U.S. We've been there twice this trip- it's one of my favorites and not too far from Ormond where I'm from. The streets are narrow and houses are built right up next to them. Some of the houses go back to the 1700's, and some have walls around them that go back to the 1500's (when the Spanish settled there). Very cool city.
