I enjoyed the read.
Well, I...Very interesting post! I enjoyed the read.<br />Well, I live in San Fernando. I guess you could say my "secret hometown" thingy is The San Fernando Mission. Originally called Mission San Fernando Rey de EspaƱa which was founded on September 8, 1797. It is one of the four original missions located in the Los Angeles area. <br />The whole place is made of Adobe (still severely damaged from the '94 earth quake, It has cracks in all the building's structure but it's still beautiful) It looks... well... It looks like the little Pueblitos you'd see in old movies. lol.. The church there... Wow, It's beautiful. <a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/75/San_Fernando_Mission_Church_Interior.JPG/800px-San_Fernando_Mission_Church_Interior.JPG" rel="nofollow">This</a> is what it looks like... though, I must say that the picture doesn't do it justice with how it is in person. <a href="http://missiontour.org/sanfernando/images/intro.jpg" rel="nofollow">This</a> is the court yard of the church. Anyways... before this gets too long-- There is also a little museum inside the area of the church that has the history of The mission. I have to go again and take better pictures to show you (<a href="http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6015/5977807833_a525462983_z.jpg" rel="nofollow">This</a> is one) but... for me, there is just no describing how.. how small that place makes you feel. Like.. WOW, this.. is history. the doorways are SO small, like how people used to be back then and everything is just.. It takes my breath away to think that long ago this was someone's home, It has the old "stoves" they used to use which was pretty much just a huge hole in the wall, the cellar where they used to take the dead cows and pigs, the meat. to cut, The spinner thingy where they used to string the whool, It's wonderful and scary. <br />(gah! it got long anyways >w<)<br />I love going to the mission because it takes me back to a little time in history. It's.. peaceful almost. <br /><br />Well, now that I've bored you to death, you can read a little more on it from Wiki <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission_San_Fernando_Rey_de_Espa%C3%B1a" rel="nofollow">here</a>(< Yes, I'm a wiki whore. lol). xD<br /><br />Judi<br />arella3173_loveless(at)yahoo(dot)comLoveless3173https://www.blogger.com/profile/15263485030540041798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21870845.post-11988478129380263012012-02-13T19:15:48.882+00:002012-02-13T19:15:48.882+00:00Thanks, Tracey! :))
