Perhaps some of you know already, but I wouldn't have guessed if I had never been here.
The Mission in San Juan Capistrano is so old and majestic. you would expect to find its like in Europe or Mexico, not in southern California.
I wasn't able to spend a long time here, but I took some pictures to help me remember what a beautiful place it is.
It is a huge campus, with many fascinating nooks and crannies.
Around every corner there is a gallery, garden, chapel or other fascinating attraction.
The town itself is full of fascinating old architecture, as well as architecture inspired by the old Spanish style. I stopped at this library briefly for information.
I had enough time for a brief tour of the town before my train.

Near the train tracks is the oldest neighborhood in California, "The Los Rios Historic District."

Los Rios is a charming and unique neighborhood with shops, restaurants tea houses, a butterfly garden and a petting zoo.

Unfortunately it was a bit too busy while I was there, it was full of young people that looked like they just got out of prom. I will return on a quieter day and spend more time.

I stopped for a quick beer before the train ride home. It was good to get out of the house a bit before the rainstorm this weekend.
Wow! That's pretty cool!
I wish I could go there someday!!
