Locals! Help Describe Our City Vibe for a Swiss Guest

I recently received the following email:

Hi Jak,

someone told me about Sainte Augustine like two years ago. I did some research on google. But i really did extensive research and get on google map and google street. We visited St. Augustine through street map. Thanks to the technoligy, we can travel all around the world, ha ha. Your pictures are so beautiful, they bring another dimension to what we can see on google street.

I’m not french, I come from Switzerland, but even here, there is no place like St. Augustine. Even if I don’t have been to St. Augustine yet, and I will, one day, i don’t think it can be the same. The atmosphere of European cities is completely different as in the United States, and clearly as St. Augustine.

Can i ask you some things ?

– Can you describe St. Augustine ? the atmosphere, the vibe ? I’m curious to have the description from a townsfolk.

-  A year is punctuated by a lot of event, right ? What are the most important event in St. Augustine ?

Thanks if you find time to answer to those questions. If you don’t have time, it’s not a problem, maybe google would help me 😀

I would greatly appreciate other’s input for a better view of the town. If we get enough good comments I’ll compile them and make a page on the site for our world visitors (145 countries!) to read.

I listed my reply to her in the comments.
