St. Augustine, January 11-12

We arrived at the Cozy Inn in St. Augustine in the early afternoon.  Cozy Inn is a really fitting name.  The rooms are relatively small, but clean and comfortable.  And it is only about a half mile from the Old Jail and a mile from the fort. (And the Dunkin Donuts is even closer!) And again, they take dogs!!!  I discovered that the car's air conditioner had been leaking again, and Christine, the hotel manager was incredibly helpful, lending me towels, giving us directions, etc.  She also made some great recommendations for restaurants. 

We decided to try JayBird's for a late lunch, mainly because it is dog-friendly.  When we got there, I asked about Minnow, and they actually allowed us to sit in the enclosed patio and brought Minnow fresh water.  We had a pretty long wait, but the food was good.

After lunch, we drove around the historic area and found the Fort and the Old Jail, getting information for the next day.  For dinner, we tried another of Christine's recommendations--the Kingfish Grill.  Unfortunately, it was pouring and cold, so we had to eat indoors (Minnow had to stay home).  Siegfried had the fish and chips and I had a fish special.  The food was very good and our waitress was excellent!
The next morning, Minnow stayed home while Sieg and I went sightseeing.  As per Jessica's request, we visited the Old Jail and the Oldest Store.  Both tours were fun.  The history of the jail was interesting--it needed to look nice so it would fit in with its surroundings, and the outside of the building is really attractive.  Can't say as much for the inside!
We had a quick lunch of leftovers and left for Titusville.
