My cousin Bill is driving down from Fernanadina to visit with us in St. Augustine and is staying at a Bed and Breakfast. Around 9:30, I get a phone call from Bill and he is on the sea wall in front of the Bed & Breakfast adjacent to our sailboat waving at us. We head ashore and the three of us head to a coffee shop near Flagler College. Later, we walk back to Bill’s B&B so he can officially check in. He had parked in front of the B&B and had to feed the parking meter.

After checking in he was going to move the car to their designated parking lot. When we get there the proprietors had fed the meter for him, nice. He decides to leave the car there until after lunch when the meter runs out. Very nice old Victorian home with a view of the river.

We walk to Cafe Alcazar for lunch and meet Mark and Karen there. As usual we have a great lunch, but no live music today. Usually a guitar or piano player is supplying live music.

After lunch we all walk over to a small shop that carries frozen chocolate covered Kermit’s “Key West Key Lime pie” on a stick. Rather unique and very good.
Mark, Bill and I head over to the B&B to move Bills car, while Karen and Linda checkout some stores. Bill gets a call from his wife Deb that was sent to the hospital for high blood pressure after visiting the doctor for a checkup. Apparently she has a blockage in her lungs and they have her on blood thinners, so Bill checks out of the B&B and gets a rain check and heads back to Fernandina.
Mark and I meet Linda and Karen at Ancient City Brewery for their excellent Coconut Porter. As we did last fall we get the table by the window and play cards. Much less crowded than it was around the Holidays.
