Mission San Luis Trip

We went to Sydney's favorite place last weekend and I am now getting the time to blog it. Here is a description I pulled off the Mission San Luis' web site.

A visit to Mission San Luis transports you back in time. Your destination is a community where Apalachee Indians and newcomers from Spain live in close proximity drawn together by religion as well as military and economic purpose.

Modern day visitors to Mission San Luis discover a re-created community where time stands still. There they meet the people of San Luis going about the tasks that sustained life centuries ago. They walk the plaza where the Apalachees played their traditional ball games. They visit the most important structure in the Apalachee village, the council house, and also stop at the home of the Spanish Deputy Governor. Visitors are welcomed at the church built under the supervision of Franciscans, and at the friary where they lived. Mission San Luis is a very special place where history comes to life.Sydney in the Hispanic Village Sydney in the Council House. The Council House.Inside the Hispanic Village sleeping quarters.

This is where Sydney took the camera away from me. You can see the faces that she was not happy about me taking the pictures.

We had a fun day and were able to take a walk on the trail and the Friar's house and the church.
