St Augustine FL greeted us with mild temps and light winds on St Patrick’s Day. Our driver Jody got held up by airlines, so she arrived a day late. But no worries; we planned on 3 nights here to adjust to the time change and sightsee in the nation’s oldest city (461 years of non-native occupation). Of note: Ponce de Leon, Henry Flagler, coquina, Castillo de San Marcos, Fountain of Youth, lighthouse, tourists!, lots of great food, beaches….
Thanks again to Steven’s Transport, aka our fellow TST – Team Southern Tier – cycling buddy Steven, for driving our support vehicle and all the gear 3000+ miles from Oregon. Tom and I LOVED staying home the extra almost 2 weeks to enjoy time with our new granddaughter Miyako Katherine Yuan born 3/4/2026 and watch her wonderful parents, Anna & Aki, adapt to a new normal. ❤️ Also needed the time to celebrate on 3/12 the amazing life of Tom’s mom, Joyce (10/5/1935-2/11/2026). ❤️ 💜 She will be missed.
