Ponce DeLeon
Ponce is a big name here. He came looking for the fountain of youth. As far as I know he didn't find it. 1/27/07
After spending the night in the St. Augustine Hostel, I drove my bike around the town. It is a very neat town. Similar to Key West’s Duval St. they have St. George Street. Lots of old stuff in this town, which is not a surprise since this is the oldest City in the USA (log that in your grey matter you trivia buffs). Pirates burned this City down 3 times in the past so Pirate stuff was commonly seen. Also Ponce De Leon came here looking for the fountain of youth so their was a lot of his stuff as well. I really should have stayed longer, but I was a little tired and ready to head to Gainesville where a friend Anna resides. I could use some good rest.
Around 12:30 I headed for Gainesville. It was a quick drive to Gainesville. I stopped and bought some boiled peanuts and Strawberries. It was weird having fresh strawberries this time of year. The peanuts reminded me of new potatoes. I made it to Gainesville around 3:00. Before I knew I fell a sleep on their couch. I didn’t realize I was that tired. It was very nice to chill
Hostel Exterior
This Hostel had a pirates theme. Lots of character. I really liked this Hostel. out and not have to think about where I was staying or where I was going. It was very relaxing. We rode bikes for about an hour and then went out to eat that night. That night was just what the Doctor ordered. I slept about 10 hours.

The next day I spent most of the day working on my travel blog and rode my bike for awhile. It was very relaxing. That night I again slept about 10 hours.

I spent some of the morning working on my travel blog and then left Gainesville around 1:00 headed for Clearwater Beach for my next Hostel stay.
