Inside the
walls of the
mission was a large courtyard containing the church building and a
few other structures like a
convent, wells,
etc. Lining the walls, facing the courtyard were the dwelling
structures. These are where the residents of the mission
slept, cooked, and generally lived their lives. Some of the
units were open and had information explaining daily life.
One of my favorite parts of visiting the
missions was just wandering around the open courtyard taking it all
in. Scattered from throughout were some great
mesquite trees. |
