Just a short hop from Penny Farms to historic St. Augustine, the oldest continuously occupied European-established settlement and port in the continental United States. Very ‘touristy’ with narrow shopping streets, restaurants, stately old homes, and the fort. From St. Augustine, we ventured down the coast to Titusville, the area of Cape Canaveral. There was a rocket launch scheduled for Saturday morning so we scouted out locations along roads to watch. Turns out the pier at our campground looked out over the water to the launch area and was the best place from which to watch. It also turns out that the launched was ‘scrubbed’ for what ever reason, and we were very disappointed. This was at the Manatee Hammock county campground where we spent a couple of leisurely days. We were curious about the name and later found out that ‘hammock’ is an Indian word meaning ‘grove of trees’. We also drove by the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Center. Since we had been to the Miami area before, we decided to avoid that congestion and head on across the state to the Ft. Myers area and Sanibel Island. Stay tuned.
