Yesterday we went back to St Augustine to tour the town. First we went to Dow Museum and Historic Houses. It was nice but don't think I would do it again. There was some of the oldest houses in the town and did have lots of history. But not well taken care of and looked a bit run down. From there we went to old town to see what was there and found some good history and buildings to look at. Also ran into the tourist area with shops with lots to buy. Then it was off to a place people had told me about as a must see. It was Mission Nombre de Dios, this is the place that Pedro Menendez de Aviles landed in 1565 and clamed the land for Spain. He landed 55 year before the Pilgrims did. It is also the place where the first Catholic serves was said. Best part was it was free and had a nice museum to go through with some cool things.
