A full day in the Auggie Doggie

Nikki and I had our first day in St. Augustine. And it was a loooooong day. We started at the Farmers Market, ate burritos out of a trailer (don't judge us), went to...not one, but two...thrift stores, a fund-raising yardsale for breast cancer, ate dinner at A1A Ale Works and then watched the Night of Lights!

OK...now with the pictures. Starting with the farmers market...it was enchanting! There was even a Pie Baking Contest with proceeds going to the Humane Society.

The pie buyer meets the pie maker

The winner, Strawberry Rhubarb...sold for $250!!

And there was the normal farmers market fare...

Grapefruit 3 for $2

The people at the market...

Love this hat!

The glance

100% Pure West African

And the animals...

Pure adoration

After the farmers market and the thrift stores, we strolled though the streets of St. Augustine while waiting for the lighting ceremony.

Blue Sails

Cozy...green shutters and lamp

There was entertainment in the park.
