I have eaten hundreds of meals at Angie's Restaurant and spent many a night at the Fort Hancock motel. The people in this town are near and dear to my heart, though it's been years since I've been there. You blew me away this morning when you mentioned this lovely town on CNN. I wish you the very best of luck on your trip and, if you need a place to have a great meal on your return through Austin, Texas, I would be honored to provide one. I, like you, am bursting with pride over this historic electioin and Barack Obama. I am even a converted Republican, who finally saw the light. Good luck and Godspeed!

Do you have anyone to meet/feed you in St. Augustine? Our family would love to feed you a meal when you come through. We live 13 miles north of St. Aug in Ponte Vedra Beach on A1A, the shore road. PV Beach is home of the TPC Sawgrass and ATP Tennis centers, and is a designated 'wellness community'. Hiya. Do you have anyone to meet/feed you in St. Augustine?

Re dogs (a ferocious dog chased me barking and biting at my heels for about 150 yards, as I sped up to 21mph to get away! (I briefly reconsidered the advice folks had given me about bringing mace or a pistol.) try carrying a few dog treats like milk bones in a handy place. Dogs just stop in their tracks to gobble the food, and lose interest in you! Ken Hey, Ryan!
