Just to upload several photos I took in St. Augustine last Sunday. It's the oldest city in Florida, where the Spanish came to settle in this new continent.

Honestly, it's not much to see though I finally got a chance to see the sea again... in a gray day.

This said-to-be-the-oldest house in Florida took $4 to get in. I guess it's actually not the oldest house. It's probably the last one that's not tore down. The tour said all the furnitures were added to show the different periods as defined by the owners.

I'm seriously thinking to go back to Scotland to see my friends this summer. Simply can't wait to go back to Europe to have a feeling of culture and tradition again. I miss all the ruins and castles with furnitures preserved.

Then, the museum showed the collections of this one guy. This is mainly to say what a rich guy could buy during the Great Depression. He bought a four-story building to house his collections of Victorian stuff.

Anyways, he did have something interesting. I didn't see any typewriter with a circular keyboard before. He also kept several huge music boxes with metal discs of one meter in diameter. That is, it's the former CDs and DVDs.

A boy from Ireland was very interested in cowboys. I'd much better go to Ireland again to see the scenic Cliffs of Moher. Breathtaking. Half the sky was dark when I was there...

Friends, I know so many of you are like me, into cultures, histories and traditions. So, save up your money. One day, we'd better go to the Amazon together.
