THX ! Most missions have amazing gardens. I didn't want to criticize the actions of the Spaniards concerning how the Natives were subdued or even decimated in the name of the Catholic religion. Our French ancestors, also devout Catholics, tried to make friends with the northern Natives, learned from them how to survive in North America and even mingled with them. The French "Voyageurs" discovered most of North America and left french names everywhere (Grands Tetons, Wyoming, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, Terre Haute, Indiana, Nouvelle Orleans, Louisiana, Riviere à l'Anguille or Cap Girardeau, Missouri, Détroit, Michigan, Colonie, New York, innumerable names still in use all over the northern States).
Regards
