Culture

One of my favourite things about American culture is that it is okay to fail because you tried. There is a lot of pressure put on trying new things, new career paths, new hobbies. All in favour of the saying, "you miss 100% of the chances you don't take." Motivation is huge part of American culture, to be better than who you were yesterday, to build yourself up, make yourself into something. One of great things about this ideal is that you can always wipe the dust off and get back up. There is no secret to success, no one route, there are many routes, many different ways that you can climb that ladder. None are easy.

The point is keep trying, and if you don't succeed you try again. If you realize it isn't for you, try something else. Life is a game and we keep playing to get an outcome we want.

San Sebastian Winery- St. Augustine, Fl

So it has been a while since I updated and I apologize for that but I have been working a lot.

My last post on St. Augustine will be about a wine tasting. Just outside the historic district is a distillery. It is free for a tour and wine tasting, given that you are of age, of course. They had periodic tours and a movie about the distilling process is first shown and then a mini tour of the location with the final stop being the tasting. We tasted about 10 different wines, port and sherry. I can see why it is a free tour because after the tasting you want to buy at least half the flavours. My mom and I ended up buying 2 bottles of port, a sherry and a red wine. All were the most delicious of all the samples.
