St. Augustine, Florida - August 2022

 

On the weekend of our 40^th anniversary, we visited St. Augustine in search of Ponce de León’s Fountain of Youth. Never did find it. Guess we’ll just grow old with the rest of you. We did find good restaurants and Castillo de San Marcos National Monument. CJ cannot pass up a good fort.

We dine the first day at an excellent Spanish/Cuban restaurant. It has multiple family-operated locations throughout Florida. Columbia is very good. It is a huge restaurant with great service somehow getting food and drink to a large group of diners from multiple bars and adequate staff even in these post COVID times.

On the day of our 40th Anniversary, we dine at Collage, a small, quaint, upscale French restaurant. Dinner is marvelous, the perfect special occasion dining location.
