St. Augustine, Day 3, Cafe Alcazar

Linda’s medicine puts her right to sleep and she wakes up without her recent morning vertigo issues. We meet Mark & Karen at the dinghy dock and walk to our 12:45 reservation at Cafe Alcazar for lunch as it starts raining. Cafe Alcazar is in the bottom of an 1890’s hotel swimming pool, less the water. This is one of our favorite places to visit in St. Augustine. They have always have live music either a guitar or piano.

"Cafe Alcazar" 1890's

Flagler College

The rest of the building is now the Lightner Museum another turn of the century hotel for the wealthy across the street from “The Ponce de Leon Hotel” (now Flagler College) an exclusive luxury hotel in St. Augustine, Florida, built by millionaire developer and Standard Oil co-founder Henry M. Flagler and completed in 1888. Now is it the home of Flagler college. Flagler’s railroad expanded to Miami and to Key West.

After lunch we walked around and later stopped at a brew Pub which has a very good coconut porter that Mark and I enjoyed. We played cards at the pub until we checked the weather radar and notice some heavy rain approaching, so we hurry back to our dinghies and our boats for the evening.
