We could only get reservations for two days at Anastasia State Park, but due to the cool weather somebody cancelled and we were able to grab two more camping days here. On Saturday the weather was sunny so we decided to see a few more sights and tourist attractions on St. Valentine's Day.
Right out the front of the state park on Anastasia Island is this attraction that Bill had to visit. Karen was a good sport and went in as well. The St. Augustine Alligator Farm is one of the oldest tourist attractions in Florida dating back to the 1890s.
Wow, do they have alligators and crocodiles. The zoological park has all of the 23 crocodilian species...and plenty of them. There are other interesting birds and animals as well.
This would probably not be a good place to fall into the water.
This albino alligator does not even look real--but he was. Do you like his turtle hat?
After viewing the reptiles we rode the trolley over the bridge to St. George Street in St. Augustine that was very busy with tourists and lovers on Valentine's Day. It was much like Bourbon Street in New Orleans.
Here is Karen by the oldest wood schoolhouse in the U.S.A. We caught the last trolley back to Anastasia Island where we were parked by the Alligator Farm. It was another fun day at St. Augustine.
at least with the albino you can see him coming a little better...YUK!!!
