More Anastasia St. Pk.

Due to the fact that it is a weekend, it has been hard to get a campsite at the park. We don't have reservations so I have to get up early and ride my bike about a mile to the office each day to get in line to put my name on a list when they open at 8 am. Yesterday I was number 3, today I was number 1 on the list. Then if there is a cancellation before 1pm we can get a campsite. We lucked out and got a site both days. As we have seen St Augustine many times before so we have just stayed at the park. We have been riding bikes on the beach, walking the beach and setting under our umbrella on the beach. We have had beautiful weather. Today we were walking back to our campsite from the beach and walked within 5 feet of about 20 black and green parrots. We didn't have the camera with us so missed some good pictures. We asked around and one of the park employees said that these birds had escaped from the nearby St Augustine alligator farm and zoology park about 2 years ago. Time to head north, I got my first mosquito bite this evening.
