Mission Nombre de Dios
This
peaceful photo shows off two favorite relaxation spots and photo ops at the
Mission Nombre de Dios grounds: the La Leche chapel at left, and the simple but
beautiful gazebo at right. Also visible are gravestones, part of a tomb, and a
religious monument at far right. I have particularly enjoyed sitting in the
gazebo on a humid morning, enjoying the breeze and gazing off toward the
mission in the hopes that the other people present would move along so I could
have the place to myself by the time I got there :-)
Fountain of Youth
The
Fountain of Youth is without doubt one of my all-time favorite St. Augustine
attractions, and here’s just another reason why: the waterfront. This photo was
taken from the newly-opened Spanish watchtower and shows the pier I had the
pleasure of enjoying for the first time during my last trip. The pier is not to
be missed. Not only can you see the Fountain grounds, part of the Mission
Nombre de Dios grounds, the marsh, and the aesthetically-pleasing bridge to
Vilano Beach, but the sheer relaxation of being so near the water makes it a
great choice.
