thank you ALL for your nice comments to my beach post yesterday. I'm so glad you've enjoyed the pictures of the beach, like I did it in reality :)
Stay with me! We will hit the road again tomorrow in the mornings - probably towards the hills again - looking for some cool fresh air to breath...LOL... if it's only for some days, or weeks or even a month... who knows :) ...since we are free and living our dream, we can do what ever we want to do :)
Come with us on the road, see you there!

Hi Susanne,
Love the pictures of the lighthouse. I was there a couple of years ago but the weather was bad and ended up with no reference. You've got some great ones.
Beautiful photos Susanne. In all the years I lived in Florida I never visited this wonderful old city. Thanks for sharing these shots. They are gorgeous.
Hey Susanne, pretty is the right word. The city looks very nice and cozy. Thanks for sharing, and happy travels. Anna :) PS did you ever mapped out your trip on the map?
Loved the street scene ones...great!
Loved to see your excellent pictures of Saint Augustin; I've been several times in Florida and still have to go back once more to see this...
