It is located west of downtown Albuquerque on I-40, well-marked. There is a small visitor’s center with a short film. The Park Rangers will ask you if you want to do “a paved trail” or…

Visiting Castillo de San Marcos My fondest memories growing up are visiting the Fort in St. Augustine. There is nothing better to spark the imagination. In my sixties now, there is still a thrill visiting this icon of not only Florida, but the United States. The oldest masonry fort in the United States is the Castillo. Thirty-three feet high,…
On a clear day, one can see for miles around. I would say it is one of the five top activities to do while in St. Augustine. The other activities is seeing Castillo De San Marcos, walking historical St. Augustine, seeing the Lightner Museum and taking the Flagler Hotel/college tour. Other activities to do is seeing the Distillery, walking…
Another great Restaurant in St. Augustine A local told about AIA Ale Works and it is good.

A Standard of Excellence in St. Augustine We always look forwards to having at least one meal at Columbia while visiting historic St. Augustine. And, we always sit upstairs at the bar. The last two times we were entertained by pleasant “Michelle” who is working on her 20th year at Columbia. Columbia is a family of Cuban restaurants that…
Worth Visiting if you have the Time I took an outside picture of the Basilica back in 1978. After many visits to St. Augustine, we made the time to go inside to see the “oldest” Catholic Diocese Church in the United States. What is most impressive is the beautiful ceiling of the Cathedral. Admission is free unlike the counterparts…
A Fun Place to Go and Eat We decided to patronize Splitsville as the eating prices were a tad more reasonable than many other places in Disney Springs. We sat in the bar outside and listened to the excellent two piece band playing away. Our bartender was extremely accommodating. She recommended the “nachos,” as there was plenty to eat.…
