St. Augustine, Florida

Florida

We were back in St. Augustine for an afternoon of sightseeing so I thought I would share some daylight pictures since my first post was at night showing the Christmas lights. St. Augustine has some great places to check out, here are a few. National Shrine of Our Lady of La Leche, St. George Street and the bay front area.

National Shrine of Our Lady of La Leche

Welcome to the National Shrine of Our Lady of La Leche
The Great Cross – Elevated to Commemorate the 400th Anniversary of the Founding of the City of St. Augustine and the Mission of Nombre De Dios – September 8, 1965. Located at the National Shrine of Our Lady of La Leche
Beautiful rosary garden on the grounds of the shrine.
Chapel to Our Lady of La Leche
Beautiful mosaic of Our Lady of Guadalupe. This is for my dad, we learned at his death that he had a devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe. I know you are smelling the roses now.
A few pictures of the marsh area from the grounds of the shrine.

St. George Street

St. George Street in early days was the main street, and today is still considered the heart of downtown St. Augustine. The cobblestone street is a pedestrian-only street lined with historic attractions, restaurants, galleries, bakeries and shops.
The Hyppo Gourmet Ice Pops (one of my favorite shops on St. George Street). They have over 450 different flavors of hand made all natural, ice pops.
Chocolate Covered Strawberry is wonderful!!!

Bay Front Area
