Out and about in St. Augustine

By Mike Jastrzebski

I haven’t posted in several weeks. Mary works Saturday, Sunday and Monday and those have become my writing days. As a result I’ve been working hard on the rewrites of the new Wes Darling book, Stranded Naked Blues, which is set in the Bahamas. Today I finished my final rewrite and Mary will begin the editing this coming week. She’ll go through at least one and probably two edits.

This past week Mary and I did a little exploring in St. Augustine for her birthday. We took the Old Town Trolley around the city and stopped at two very different museums.

First we hit the Lightner Museum.

Damn big shells

And then I talked Mary into heading over to Ripley’s Believe it or Not. What a hoot.

After that we went out to dinner and then back to the boat. Overall, despite the chilly weather we’ve been having, it was a very nice day and I was happy to spend it with my wife and best friend Mary on her birthday.
