It was an easy day and a good one cycling into st Augustine. I left late and had no trouble with the miles, there might have been a little bit of a tailwind even. Beautiful cycling also, a lot of it right along the coast with the water crashing. Some good surfing in those waters it looked like.
Pulled into at Augustine on Friday and checked into the hostel. Nice little place right in the heart of town. Had a chat with the guy at the desk about how difficult it is to enforce the parking in town. Apparently they have three spaces and are constantly towing cars. That night I went and grabbed a drink at the local microbrewery and met this guy sitting at the bar. We ended up talking cycling and ended up going to a cigar bar together. Overall, great night, I had a blast.
Sunday was a great day of hilarious football watching. I was at the bar and this couple came in and sat next to me, Detroit fans. We are chatting and having a laugh and the bartender is laughing along with us. Jokes were everywhere! We laughed about the sports cape, overusing the weird "aggressive" and drinking out of straws and gourmet Popsicles. Just funny. When the bartender's shift ended we all parted ways but not before hugging it out and taking a photo of ourselves. We became close very quickly. I went somewhere else for dinner and ended up meeting a Scottish gal watching the game who was also a great laugh. Overall, great people and a great night.
Also sat in the beach on Saturday, real nice beach.
Monday I'm having some barbeque in town watching the game. Mojo old city barbeque, pretty excited about it.
