The oldest city founded by Europeans, actually. Had a great walk up and down historic St. George, Marine, and Aviles Streets visiting the shops, historic buildings, and eateries, visiting Castillo San Marcos, eating at little out-of-the-way restaurants, and strolling beneath the Christmas light bespangled live oaks at the old slave market. It was a magical night, reminiscent of the Christkindlmarkt visits our family made in Europe years ago. The highlight of the evening walk was a ride (and then another) on the old antique carousel; with its century- and decades-old horses. When it turned cold, we found a Polish/Greek restaurant to eat hot vegetarian Borscht soup with mushroom pirogies floating like wontons in an oriental soup, spinach/feta pie, and a Greek salad. English was sparse in that mom/pop establishment!
