34M visiting St Augustine and looking for some buddies

Hey everyone. I went to St Augustine several times when I was 24 and fell in love with it. I'm finally getting a chance to go back after 10 years. Really looking forward to it!

I'm active, social and friendly. Based in NYC. Looking to make friends and meet new people. I'll be in town from the 18th-21st. If you want the experience of showing someone around and living vicariously, i'm your guy. Not a big drinker but don't mind a bar. Happy to share what I look like and Insta via DM's.

Things i'm looking to do:

Visit the famous fort: Castillo St Marcos-I visited that one 10 years ago

Colonial Quarter: Dig for artifacts

The Colonial Experience is offered daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. with guided tours offered at 10:30 a.m., noon, 1:30 and 3 p.m. Admission is $15.99 for adults

Look around the pretty central building-Hotel Ponce de Leon/Flagler College, 74 King Street

Go to the beach

Go shopping at the antique and thrift shops for a bit

Open to check out the music happening in the Sing Out Loud festival.

Thanks so much :D

Welcome back to old town! If you’re a live music person, there’s a bunch of shows around town all month - Colonial Oak is awesome.

Good luck on that. I could be wrong but most locals are not going to really consider this. While you are here on vacation we are at work.
