Day 12


Yesterday, Hector picked us up & we headed for San Ignacio to see one of the Missions, San Ignacio Mini. On the way, we took a side trip to a mine in Wanda that Hector told us about called Mine of Wanda - Tierra Colorado. The mine had geodes with quartz, amethyst, agate deposits & more. We had a cute little tour guide that spoke decent English. After a tour through the mine & gift shop, we were on our way.

The Mission San Ignacio Mini was a huge ruins that surprisingly dwarfs our missions in San Antonio. We took some pictures & I have included a link to their website:

More tomorrow!

San Ignacio Mini
So, I assume this is NOT the mission used in The Mission? Looks like an expansive layout.....love the red clay facade/entryway. I suppose you will be leaving today. Be safe. I'm an so glad you two were able to go and hope you had the time of your life!
