Short Distances

Monday I went to St. Augustine with my family and my brothers girlfriend. I'd like to point out that I rarely ever go out of town. So going to St.Augustine of all places was a good thing. I explored the area more in depth, then I have ever done before. I saw the first catholic church (The basilica), walked down the Spanish Quarter, and even saw a couple of cute guys. I also got my fortune told by this old fortune telling machine. Oh and we had pizza at this pizzeria which said they had authentic new york pizza... bullshit. The food was very mediocre. Next time I visit, im going to try the other Pizza restaurant across the street to compare. Because I hate it when restaurants say their authentic and they end up making some pretty crappy pizza. I also went to this pretty cool place where they look up your last name and see if your family has a coat of arms (family crest) and they also give you a history to your last name. My last name is actually Italian which was something I have always wanted to know. On my moms side, her families last name is French. Awkward being Latino and not having a Latino sounding name.

I also checked out about 2 art galleries, one of them had Dr. Seuss stuff on exhibit. It was quite remarkable because I have never been inside of an art gallery. The stuff is so expensive! I would never spend so much on art work. But truthfully, if I had the money, id probably reconsider on at least one painting. I'll show you guys the pictures I took of my trip. Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying their weekend. Right now I am going to have myself a cold glass of water and try to stay cool. Stay safe and stay cool people.

Oh and by the way, I found out my ancestor is actually Juan Ponce de León. He is the man who found St.Augustine, he discovered Florida, and he was the first Governor of Puerto Rico.
