It was, Kathy — amazing. I loved reading the placards describing the history of the mission, when it was built . . . crazy to imagine people standing there so long ago! (And on the San Andreas Fault, no less!)
Thanks, Erica! I’m sure the missions for you are sort of like the Washington, D.C., monuments to me — they’re everywhere. And very familiar. But still really cool to see!
Oh my gosh! I used to go on field trips here during fourth and fifth grade. This takes me back, haha. Thanks for the impetus to stroll down memory lane 🙂
That’s awesome, Courtney — I would love to have been able to explore the mission as a kid! I remember going to another one on a family vacation in the ’90s, but this is the first time I was actually paying attention. 🙂
I love Spanish architecture- especially the authentic kind. The blur of Spanish-style subdivisions I saw in south Florida a couple weeks ago just isn’t the same.
Gorgeous images. I love the candles.

Thanks, Carol! The sky out there was so vibrant — and clear. Not like Maryland’s humidity-clogged skies!
