🗣️ ANNOUNCEMENT! 👀 Coming up soon will be offer of an add-on to our tours. 🌟 If you are visiting and didn't get to see all the spots you wanted, or perhaps you got there but did not get any, or any good, pics of yourselves there, now you can! WithOUT even going there. Maybe you're even local but do not have pics of a favorite spot (or you can find a New favorite lol).
Or maybe you want a photo that relates to your tour experience. 🤓
The possibilities are 'endless' 😉

Here's how it works:
*We just quick snap a pic or two (or 3. . . ) while you are on tour
*You select the scene you wish to have and pay small fee
*We pop you into the scene you want and viola! You are there.
*Image/s sent to you digitally about 24 hours later

Only takes a minute on site, so it is not taking away from guest experience of tour. But now you can get even more out of it!

Shown here are just some examples. There will be 23 locations/scenes in all to choose from which will include some iconic downtown locations, as well as obscure/not as well known,
AND even night photos, black and white, locations related to crime scenes and cemeteries. Which we can even make you ghostly looking! How fun is that?!

[you do not have to decide this when booking. Just by tour time so we can snap your pic]

🚩National Flag 🇺🇸
The first national flag of the US was the Grand Union Flag (also called the continental Colors) and was raised by George Washington January 1, 1776, near Boston. This flag contained the British Canton in the upper left corner and 13 alternating stripes of the colonies. It is a moving demonstration of the struggle of the day: symbolizing the allegiance to the Crown while demanding their own rights. A blend of recognizing colonial heritage while pursuing a push for self-governance.
This flag was flown officially all the way until June 14, 1777 when the Continental Congress passed the first Flag Act (why we celebrate this day each year as Flag Day). This act stated our national flag would have 13 red and white stripes with 13 stars on a blue field. There has been debate over the stars having 5 or 6 points, so you may find both. The resolution also did not specify the arrangement of the stars, so flags from then exist with a variety of constellations.
By the adoption of a second Flag Act in 1794, there were 2 new stars and stripes added, representing two new states into the Union (Vermont and Kentucky).
The 3rd Flag Act in 1818, having seen the addition of 5 more states by then, started the procedure of adding only stars for each new state, and reducing stripes back to 13, remaining so from that point on.
Our current flag is the 27th version.
[Interestingly enough as Florida became the 27th state in 1845]

🪦AFTERLIFE💀series.
While embalming originated thousands of years ago (Egypt was well known for it), it didn't really start in North America until the Civil War.
Before that time, most people died near their home location so funeral arrangements were able to be done quickly, with burials local in their family plots.
However, in the Civil War, men were dying far from home. But their families still wanted their loved ones to be laid to rest near the family. So the bodies were transported by train, which may take weeks. You can only imagined the smell (and leakage) that would accompany, getting worse by the day. 😷
Dr. Thomas Holmes developed a modern chemical embalming to preserve bodies to be sent home. As you see in this image, that procedure was often done right out in the field.
Embalming was further popularized by the death of President Lincoln. His body went on a long procession from Washington to Illinois. This long trip was high profile and widely viewed, proving a well preserved body could be displayed for extended periods.
By the end of the century, embalming had become standard practice. Here in St Augustine, our local funeral homes were adopting it as well.

🌟1776📆 Our country these days has begun celebrations of our nations birthday. But here in Florida, were we American at that time? No.
You may remember our heritage that the Spanish are who settled here so perhaps we in Florida were still Spanish in 1776. Again, nope
Let's take a look:
~1763 the Seven Years war is ending (or French and Indian War as it is also know) and Great Britain and her colonies had won over France and Spain. Britain had also conquered and taken control of Havana Cuba. In the treaty signed ending that war, a trade was negotiated: Havana goes to Spain in exchange for Florida to Britain.
~in the 1770's the eastern American colonies are fighting for their independence and the Revolutionary War has begun. This continued through 1783.
~1776~ Declaration of Independence was drawn up and 13 colonies seceded from Great Britain, claiming their independence. Florida however remained loyal to the crown and under it's control. (Including many other areas of North America and Canada)
Not only was Florida under British ownership, but for many years loyalist (to GB) fled to Florida, away from fighting and got under the protection of English rule. With all of these refugees coming and St Augustine being the stronghold for the British military, the population was much higher at this time than during Spanish occupation before 1763.
~1783 Another Treaty was signed, ending the Revolution, in which Great Britain recognized the independence of the United States. England ceded Florida back to Spanish control in exchange for the Bahaman Islands.
~1821~ It would be another 38 years before Florida would become officially part of America as a colony in 1821. Statehood would not happen until 1845.
