Mission Nombre de Dios
You
can tell just by looking at this photo that the La Leche shrine at Nombre de
Dios is a peaceful place. The doors are always open, and even if you’re not a
spiritual person, you can still appreciate the simple beauty found within. Take
some time to read the historical plaques located on the outside of the
building. Though there’s been a chapel at this spot since the 1600s, the
current building dates from about 1914, and was constructed to resemble the
Spanish missions of yore.
St. George Street
St.
Augustine has countless photo ops; you only need to look. Here’s
a view of some reconstructed 18th century outbuildings seen from inside the
centuries-old De Mesa-Sanchez House. (I can’t recommend this house enough. Few
people, beautiful furnishings, peaceful setting, centuries of history. And
possibly haunted . . .).
