Why bother

In 1565 Spanish explorer and admiral Pedro Menendez de Aviles founded St. Augustine, Fla., which has gone on to be the longest continuously occupied European city in America.*

Now, I’m no historian, but I have to assume that those guys showed up wearing lots of wool and steel. Probably no air-conditioning. Flash forward to 2010 where I have lightweight clothes, near-constant access to cold air, and endless supplies of refreshing beer.

But if I were to discover Florida today, I’d say “Fuck it,” get back on my boat and sail away. Lord it’s been a hot summer.

Land of the tomorrow!

I’m going to make this blog post a photo essay. You get three clues, each in the form of a picture. At the end of the third clue, I want you to give it your best guess (leave a comment, natch). Sometime between next week and never, I will post the correct answer.

Question: Where am I, and what sort of magical tour am I on? The first person to get both parts of that question correct will win one free at-home dinner prepared by yours truly. AND I MAKE A MEAN BOX OF MACNCHEESE.

Have fun guessing, snitches! Oh, and Luis, the only person who still reads my blog, don’t spoil it for everyone.
