Pomenade the Waterfront on the New Seawall

Barbara tells me that I am an inexpensive date.  All one of us needs to say is " a cookie and a coffee " from  one of the many sources downtown and we are ready for a walk in the historic section of St. Augustine.  One of our favorite routes is the waterfront along the bay.  Historic homes and buildings to the west and the waterfront and boats on the east.  The views are great and many times we even hold hands.  This used to be necessary because the old seawall was narrow and the street was wide and we can both have clutz attacks.  This is changing, however, with the construction of a new seawall which is being constructed 12 feet further out into the water.  This newly constructed seawall will protect the historic old seawall along the bay that was originally started by the Spanish in 1696.  The section being fortified in the pictures is from the 1833 project  which was built by West Point Military Academy graduates.  The wall is also higher to protect the city from water intrusion during tropical storms.  The best thing for us and other pomenaders is the nice wide walking path between the old now interior wall and the new higher outer wall.  We may not have to hold hands to walk the wall, but then again.
