I can’t wait to drive up there! I’ve read about the history of St. Augustine and a scenic drive is a great way to start or end a trip. Sometimes I take routes just for the vistas along the way like the Sunshine Bridge near St. Pete, the Tampa Bay bridges, and the overseas highway in the Keyes. Simply breathtaking. Thanks for the tram tip too. I love all of the locations of The Columbia restaurant. It’s named after a ship I think. Have you been to The Columbia in Ybor (Tampa), Sarasota and Celebration? Each one has a unique ambiance but they all share the same delicious menu of wonderfully tasty, fresh Cuban food. I love the pitchers of table-side Sangria and Eggplant Riojana or Pollo Riojana if I’d prefer chicken. My daughter loves their seafood paella. The fresh Cuban bread is so yummy! I’ve never been disappointed with the food or the service. I’m getting really hungry just thinking about it! Gee, Thanks? St Augustine lighthouse was featured on Ghost Hunters but I need not fear since knees won’t climb all those steps. I would still like to see the historic structure though. And The tram sounds delightful.
