There were some interesting festivals going on this weekend in the Jacksonville area. Shrimpfest in St. Augustine, and Tall Ships were in port at Jacksonville Landing. Newspaper and TV reports were encouraging folks to get out experience all the happenings, so we took their suggestion and headed for the Tall Ships.
Saturday was a great day - lots of sunshine and puffy clouds. Jacksonville has a port on the St. Johns River for commercial and personal use. As in most major cities there is much to see and do - lots of people milling about and enjoying the festive atmosphere, arts and crafts and food, as well as re-enactments of early settlers arriving by ship in the area. A live band was playing and we took a "free tour" of the port on the local river boat. It was a nice way to spend the afternoon.
