On Tuesday, April 17, we arrived in our favorite city, St. Augustine. We planned to stay for several days, but once again the north winds picked up and we rocked and rolled in the slip at the City Marina....stayed for six nights. We had several great meals with our friends, Tom and Shirley. Jim and I toured Old St. Augustine Village, above picture, which contains nine historic houses representing various architectural styles ranging from 1790 to 1910. The Prince Murat House, c 1790, was named for the exiled newphew of Napoleon Bonaparte and relative by marriage of George Washington. Murat rented the house in 1824 and Ralph Waldo Emerson was believed to have stayed there in 1827.

From St. Augustine, we stopped at Amelia Island, Jekyll Island where we toured the museum and learned about the Jekyll Island Club, Richmond Hill, Beaufort, SC and then arrived in Isle of Palms by the end of the month.
