Bridge of Lions, February 14, 2017

St Augustine connects to Anastasia Island via the Bridge of Lions. The bridge was rebuilt/repaired between 2000 and 2005 and is a draw bridge that opens in the middle to allow ships to pass through. The bridge was nearly underwater when hurricane Matthew came through last October. Anyhow, we happened to be on it today when they were allowing a boat to sail through. You can see from the picture what looks like a wall in front of us; that's the road tilted up 90 degrees. We made our way to a local distillery and had a tour, some samples, and our Valentine's day dinner at the attached restaurant. Nice day, high in the upper 70's.
