Today I visited the St. Augustine Alligator farm. This place was amazing. I was able to see every one of the 26 species of gators in existence. I also pet a baby alligator. I watched a live feeding of the gators that was pretty interesting. Parking is St Augistine is pretty tough with a trailer, so I asked the people at the Alligator farm if I could leave my car there. Then I biked over to the lighthouse for a bit. From there I went over the bridge back into downtown St Augustine. I rode all around town and saw the fountain of youth, Mission of Nombre De Dios, Castillo de San Marcos, and Vilano Beach. Vilano beach had some great body surfing and very warm water. You are allowed to drive your trucks on the beach here. When I arrived to Vilano, the beach had a sign that said “very dangerous water conditions”. I decided to go anyway and had a pretty good time. That night I tried to say in the hostel again, but once I got there, the reception desk was closed. So I decided to break into one of the rooms and steal a shower. From there I had to sleep in my car on the street. I will be heading to Auburn AL tomorrow for some biking and sight seeing. I hope to stay in the Chewacla State Park right outside of Auburn.
