59-Day U.S. Road Trip: Day 27 - Jacksonville, FL 🚗🌴

📍 Route Update: Originally planned to drive straight to Columbia, SC, but detoured to explore St. Augustine (America’s oldest city! 🏰) and Jacksonville (FL’s largest city—who knew?!). Highlights & Surprises: St. Augustine (est. 1565 by Spanish colonists): Castillo de San Marcos ⭐ – Star-shaped fortress by Matanzas Bay (tourist hotspot, parking nightmare!). Charming historic district buzzing with visitors. Jacksonville Discovery: Skyline & St. Johns River 🌉 – Friendship Fountain + downtown views = stunning! Big-city vibes WTF Bird Attack! 😱 A rogue bird at Friendship Fountain slapped my face, knocked off my sunglasses 🕶️, and cackled from afar! Lesson learned: Mirror lenses = bird magnets. Never again! Random Encounters: Biker gang with police escort 🚨 (retired rebels? Space Center tourists?). Kennedy Space Center glimpse 🚀 (no time to stop). States Visited So Far: Texas: 5 cities ✅ Florida: 5 cities (now incl. Jacksonville) ✅ #USRoadTrip #FloridaAdventures #HistoricStAugustine #JacksonvilleSurprises #TravelFails 🌎🤣
