St. Augustine boasts a long history - Ponce de Leon landed in 1513. As children we learned about his landing and discovery of the Fountain of Youth. We visited the site yesterday. It bills itself as Florida's oldest attraction. The site is the oldest successful European settlement in the U.S. In the 1930's it was discovered to be the burial site of native American aboriginals known as the Timucua.
A bonus was a flock of peacocks who inhabit the grounds.
