OK, so I did went down to the old town and it was sooooooooooooo o touristsy, I hated it. Gave me a huge headache, but I drove down 45 minutes, so thought I would give it a chance.
Here's me getting ready for the outing.
Paid $23 for a trolley tour. They had 22 stops along the tour and you could stop and take photos, etc. What I didn't know was that I should have gone super early, park for free, and use the trolley as my travel through the little town.
Didn't see too many things worth taking pictures of, the the sun was hitting this bridge at such a beautiful angle, I snapped a picture.
Saved $10 by parking in the restaurant's parking lot, which was waived if you eat there. There was a two hour wait, so I walked around a little and took some photos. So many people and all the shops were meaningless... just for tourists and everything was at least $10 more than I have seen at other places. I did come across a shop that had the most beautiful amber jewelry settings.
On the tour, this was the only thing I saw that was worth taking a photo of, so after dinner, I went back to find this church and took a picture of it. This is the Memorial Presbyterian church built by business tycoon Henry Flagler. His daughter died and he wanted to have a brand new church to do a memorial service for her, so this church was built in 363 days.
What drew me down was the Christmas lights. People kept talking about how the whole entire city is lit up for Christmas. It's just mostly downtown where there is virtually no place to stop and take a picture. I was not too impressed. There is another area closer to me that if I get off work early, I might stop by to take some photos.
