Title: St. Augustine (Fountain of Youth pics)
Post by: Rebel Yell on May 27, 2008, 10:59:18 AM
I have alot of pictures from vacation.  Rather than pile them all in one thread, I'm gonna start a thread for each place we visited. 

First is the Fountain of Youth.  Pretty interesting, the water from it tasted like shit.  Typical Florida sulfer-water.

Here we are in front of the fountain.

This is where Ponce De Leon first landed.

My wife, who could care less about history, was more impressed with the wildlife at the park.

A life size recreation of Ponce de Leon and the Indians at the Fountain.

Great photos, RY, especially of that peacock...amazing photo opportunity right there.  :)

St. Augustine is one of my favorite places to visit, due to it's historical value.     Last time I went, my family and I went to the fort, and attended a ghost tour (i'll try to dig up the photos from that trip when I get a chance).

My cousin went to the fort a couple years ago, and got a picture of a soldier who wasn't standing there when she took the picture.

Dude!
Your wife is a babe.
She was 83 yrs old when we got to the fountain.

Thanks.

The albino peacock in one of the most extraordinary things I have ever seen.  It is quite a perplexing metaphor unto itself.  How can removing everything which makes something beautiful make it more beautiful?

Oh, no.  I was there 3 years ago with my wife and kids and you're giving the water coming out of that spring WAY to much credit for tasting good.

I haven't been there in 40 years, same diorama and it sounds like the spring hasn't flushed out that taste yet.  :rotf:
