The Alcazar Hotel, (pictured left) was built by Henry Flagler in 1889. It was one of Flagler's many contributions to St. Augustine and helped to develop the nation's oldest city as a tourist destination during the turn of the century.  This hotel contained the world's largest indoor swimming pool, the first in the entire state of Florida.  The Alcazar remained open to guests until 1931.  Today this historic building is the St Augustine City Hall and home the the Lightner Museum, shops, and cafes.  It is located on King Street, just across from Flagler College.

Visit Castillo de San Marcos, the oldest masonry fort in the U.S. and learn about its history, the Spanish influence, and the role it played in protecting the city.

The Bridge of Lions, (pictured below), A pair of copies of the marble Medici lions guard the bridge, begun in 1925 and completed in 1927.  Its construction came at the height of the extravagant Florida land boom of the 1920s, and the bridge is one of its greatest landmarks.  It was designed not merely to carry cars, but to be a work of art, and it cost ten times as much as more prosaic bridges constructed nearby at the same time.   It was completed after the land boom busted, and the 1927 dedication ceremony had to be paired with the annual Ponce de Leon Celebration in cash-strapped St. Augustine.  From its earliest days, it was hailed as "The Most Beautiful Bridge in Dixie."  It has long been a symbol of the nation's oldest city.

5:15 PM $75 Depart for the Alhambra Dinner Theatre (no bus, private car convoy).  Established in 1967 the Alhambra has been providing live theater performances, accompanied by fine dining,for over five decades.  Enjoy dinner followed by The Mystery of Edwin Drood, a hysterical musical comedy.  Based on the unfinished work of Charles Dickens, this whodunit was the first Broadway musical with multiple endings allowing the audience to choose the murderer!  The Mystery of Edwin Drood is the final novel by English author Charles Dickens, originally published in 1870.  At the death of Dickens on 9 June 1870, the novel was left unfinished in his writing desk, only six of a planned twelve chapters having been written.  He left no detailed plan for the remaining chapters or solution to the novel's mystery, and many later adaptations by other writers have attempted to complete the story.

Though the novel is named after the character Edwin Drood, it focuses more on Drood's uncle, John Jasper, a presentor, choirmaster and opium addict, who lusts after his pupil, Rosa Bud.  Miss Bud, Edwin Drood's fiancée, has also caught the eye of the high-spirited and hot-tempered Neville Landless.  Landless and Edwin Drood take an instant dislike to each other.  Later Drood disappears under mysterious circumstances and you the audience get to choose the ending!
