26/01: Seafood Boil
Category: General
Posted by: The Agnew Family
After all the walking we did yesterday, we decided a drive was in order. Driving north of St. Augustine brought us to the Guana Tolomato Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve. We had hoped for some great views of the ocean but got a view of dense vegetation on tall sand dunes. We stopped at one of the parking lots along the way and took a short walk on the beach.
There was an estuary on the opposite side of the road from the ocean. If you look closely you'll see lots of egrets in the foreground of the photo. Unfortunately, for photographer Ed you couldn't get any closer to the birds. The estuary area was closed to the public.
Before we left home, my friend Margaret told me about a restaurant she had tried when she visited St. Augustine a number of years ago. We decided to look for the Outback Crab Shack on our drive. John and Carol have never had the pleasure of eating a seafood boil so we gave it a whirl. One platter of food serves four people ... even when you include Ed.
The restaurant is at a marina on the St. Johns River. The dock seems to go on forever.
Use your imagination and you too can see Ed's sea serpent.
