Comparison shopping: St. Augustine or the Key West lighthouse?

St. Augustine Lighthouse & Museum
As I've mentioned, I used to be afraid of heights so at one time it might have been hard for me to enjoy the magnificent views that one sees from the observation deck of either of the lighthouses you will see here.
But no more!

The St. Augustine lighthouse is 165 feet above sea level.  



There are 219 steps that take you to the very top of the light house...

Love at first sight

The beautiful architecture and lovely oceanic views, historic connection and lush Florida vegetation which I adore about Key West made me simply fall in love with St. Augustine so I am simply going to overdue it with pictures in this posting. We were only there for three days but I went wild! 
I'm not sure which bridge this is but I took this picture from the wall of the Fort.
After our first very long day with virtually no sleep-- we finally got to our lovely rooms at the Inn at Charlotte. They were so accommodating and welcoming there that I want to make sure and give them a little plug. Here's their link: http://www.innoncharlotte.com/ 


This is the little garden in front of the Inn and they apparently have a wedding package that couples buy. One couple that was there while we were got married right in front of this fountain. It was quite beautiful and then they were carried off in a horse and buggy to ride about town which is quite quaint considering so many of the old streets are still paved with brick.

You can just imagine yourself having an frosty glass of lemonade as the sun goes down...
