Bill and I started off early in the general direction of Amelia Island. I was a bit lazy, and I managed to only put in 5 miles in the 15 mile rotation between Bill and I. Along the way, Rob A. joined us to run the stretch of Amelia Island (north of the plantation) that featured sea-side houses--some of them mimicking the true lighthouse. The breeze was perfect.
At a later point, I was surprised that the final 6 miles was going through St Augustine--a place I heard so much about but never visited. I happily went with Rob, who proceeded to re-visit a few places of historic St Augustine (Magnolia Ave, by the fort, by the historic downtown, and so on). It was the most picturesque run I've had in the trek, and I barely broke a sweat in the entire 6 miles. We ran through the historic parts of downtown with pirate hats on (aye--matey har har!!!). People's reactions were funny--one even exclaimed "It's a pirates run!". We asked directions from a woman walker--she read about us from the Jacksonville paper. She had a hearty laugh from our propensity in getting lost.
We met up with the RV down the road. I later found out that Joe P. took advantage of the time by visiting the beach close to the interstate road. I wish we had more time to just relax and soak in the places we visited.
