For many years, I have been fascinated by Riley's. Without giving away my age, this love stemmed from the days when the newspapers used to carry daily, snippets from the fascinating world of Ripley's. Some pictures and stories were so bizarre that one really had a problem believing the claims.
Over the years, Ripleys has morphed into a franchising business, so many cities now have museums bearing the name. Wherever I see one, I do try to take it in to get a top-up of the grotesque and bizarre happenings throughout the world.
On a recent trip to St. Augustine, Florida, the minute I saw the ads that this city had one, it went to the top of my "to see list". And they did not disappoint.

Wherever you go and see
Ripley's, take a look as they never disappoint!
