Mission of San Juan Capistrano

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Oh gosh, I have to show these pics to Bernard!! Will make him green with envy !
Where exactly are these gardens? In San Fransisco?? We were in SF in 1984, but didn't see this...

Lut.... San Juan Capistrano is about half way between Los Angeles and San Diego....

Slick and I marveled at the gardens when we were there together.

How are you enjoying the tours, Sara?

KK - that tree is wonderful isn't it?

Beautiful. Maybe one day.

I thought it was a lovely, peaceful place also. The flowers weren't quite as colorful when we were there towards the end of July, but here are a few pics. One is Terry showing just how BIG the aloe(?) plant is, and in one other one, I laid my camera case down to show how BIG these plants are (my mom calls them Chicken and Eggs, but I have no idea what their official name is). Then there's Karen and I with some lovely bright Bougainvilla(?) and another one of the trunk of that tree and one of the entire tree. I believe that tree intrigues everyone!

For some reason I just can't get my mind to grasp the though of a class of 4th graders invading this lovely peaceful place..... How very quiet it must seem after they're gone.

I've been there....with Mz Gini. Yes, it's a beautiful place and I didn't spend nearly enough time there. Would love to go back.

Oh my Debbie **snicker** that picture of Terry, it looks like he's giving a sermon. **snicker**
