From the western United States rush to get home is to enjoy a happy family reunion. In fact, our family is very small, our children in the distance, attending a medical school. He is an internship in the hospital. He cannot go home to spend Thanksgiving with us. We return to our home from the busy work, just want to see the environment we live in and our breeding pets and plants. I keep a small turtle, it is very naughty look in its home. I planted flowers are growing well, they come from different locations. Our desire is small, just during the holidays to go back to our house.

Thursday is Thanksgiving Day in the United States. We like a lot of families, choose a family holiday. We go through the red land of the American West, and now nostalgia Blue Ocean in Florida. From our home to the St. Augustine, Florida probably drove seven hours. All the way through the Gulf of Mexico arrived in North Atlantic Ocean. In the Gulf of Mexico on the beach there are many unknown, Pensacola Beach, Fort Walton Beach, Destin Beach, and Panama City Beach, and so on. These beaches are beautiful, white sand, blue sea. We have seen steep mountains and red land, look at the blue sea and white sandy beaches that feels so good.

In the afternoon 2:00 o'clock, we arrived in St. Augustine, Florida. After hotel check in, we started exploring the town of St. Augustine. St. Augustine is a small town in northern Florida. Its history began in the 16th century by the Spaniards landed and construction, although only 450 years, it is the nation's oldest city in the United States.

Walking on the streets of St. Augustine, we felt a strong Latin flavor. The city where every corner fascinating. Ringing sound of the carriage leisurely walk from the road, and classical architecture around perfect together.

The St. Augustine's castle. The castle has a Spanish name is not easy to remember, called "Castillo de San Marcos". It was the Spaniards lived in St. Augustine in 1672, in order to prevent the British from entering the sea, specially built.

The castle is famous design in architectural history, it effectively eliminates the sidelines of the dead, more conducive to protection. On its walls, gun array distributions, it is very tricky. There are two shades of staggered outside the castle moat.

One of the few rivers in the US, that flows north, the St. John River spans 310 miles. Winding through the diverse landscapes of Central and Northeast Florida, as well as the heart of Jacksonville, every twist and turn of the river holds something uniquely beautiful.

Florida's first coast from Amelia Island to St Augustine. The first coast charms is the diversity and beauty of tourists

Amelia Island & Fernandina Beach

 

Located off the coast of North Florida, just 30 minutes from Jacksonville, Amelia Island is one of the southernmost sea island of the southeast United States.

When the car quickly run in the wilderness of Florida, we also bid farewell to this nation’s oldest city. It is America's first city, and it is very appropriate. However, due to various reasons, many people do not know there is such a magical place. So it will keep its completion at the beginning of calm and serenity, but also retained the Spanish culture and history of the gene.
