On Sunday, Trevor had a soccer game and we had planned to get together for dinner later. We decided to go out to breakfast in the historic area & then for a tour of the Nao Trinidad that was docked at the marina by the Bridge of Lions.
For breakfast, we went to Mary's Harborview Restaurant. It was just north of the Bridge of Lions, so it should save us some walking---or so we thought. Parking in SA can be a challenge, especially since it was the weekend. David spotted a small parking lot that was only $10 per day as opposed to $15 for the parking garage, so we parked there. We didn't realize just how far away it was from the restaurant & we had no address for the parking lot so we could find our car later. We were across from Flagler College with lots of students walking along the brick sidewalks past us. We headed towards the marina through the streets of old St Augustine.
We know we walked on Hipolito and past certain college buildings, but no address. We couldn't see the marina very clearly due to heavy fog.
We finally made our way to Menendez Ave, right across from the marina. With our phones help we came right out at Mary's Restaurant. There was a line of people waiting. The place was super small, with no more than 7 tables, but their menu was huge. These girls were in line behind us., waiting for a table.
After waiting we were seated and ordered our breakfast. I had a Greek Omelet and David had a Western Omelet. Breakfast was great!
There was an older man and his wife sitting next to us and I couldn't stop looking at him. He looked like my Daddy, at least until he put on his glasses. I didn't wat to stare, but it was so remarkable.
After breakfast we walked down the sidewalk right past the Tini, Martini Bar. They used to have a live cam outside so you could see all the action & people going by the bar. It was especially helpful during the hurricanes because you could get an idea of the amount of water on the street with live cam.
This is the live cam from 3 years ago, but that area is always active.
The ship we were going to see was just down and across the street from here. I'll so a separate post on that since I had a lot of pictures.
