Barbara takes a stroll in Oldtowne

Sometimes the road less traveled yields interesting surprises.  This could be said of the St. Augustine Historic District lying south of the Plaza on King Street.  This area encompasses the oldest public street in the country.  Hospital Street appears on archival maps dating from as far back as the early 1570's.  Early Spanish settlers located a colonial military hospital along the thoroughfare and thus the name.  The name was later changed to Aviles Street to honor the Spanish hometown of the city's founder.  Today this area offers interesting small shops and dining opportunities in a less traveled setting than St. George Street.  Barbara and I like to stroll this area followed by lunch or dinner at one of the areas eateries or checking out the latest art or merchandise in the quaint shops.
