Buying Your First Home in Florida

A Restaurant Review by Justin Neil Gaynor

Presbyterian girls are definitely at the top of my list for dates. A woman that trusts in the sovereignty of the Father and the authority of Scripture often translates into a strong, fruitful marriage were commitment, loyalty, and sacrificial love are valued. That is a good thing.

A quick sail north from Port Orange and you and your beloved will find yourselves in the ancient city of St. Augustine. A city where it is not uncommon to see people walking round the streets like they just stepped out of the 16th or 17th century, or a Pirates of the Caribbean movie. The pubs and restaurants are as diverse as the nation that would spring forth from this, the oldest European and AfricanAmerican settlement in the USA.

On this particular visit, it was a beautiful day and I was strolling down St. George Street taking in all the wonderful sights, sounds, and smells, I found myself seated in a small pub with character to spare.

The Bull & Crown Publick House in the Colonial Quarter of St. Augustine offered a flight of delicious whiskeys and a Shepherds Pie that was piping hot, with a crisp toasted crust on the top of the mashed potatoes. Once I pressed in though, I quickly discovered tender meat and a savory gravy with fresh vegetables. It was delicious. A thoroughly enjoyable, authentic dining experience. Hope to return sooner rather than later...
