An incredible bougainvillea tree attached to this lovely ruined archway

Thios is susch a beautiful place. I love visiting there and just imagine living back then. Did you walk through or down one of the streets below the railroad tracks. Some of those houses are from the early 1800's and have bee restored. One has a little outdoor restraurant and very good food. There is alot to see in Capistrano including the antique store and art gallerys. Glad you had a good time. Love the pictures
goodness my fingers just went to the wrong keys---- this is such--
guess I should proof read it before I send it!!!!!Even forgot the ?
To late now!!!!!
i loooove the mission there! everytime i go down to the oc i tell mom we need to go, but i'm always there for like 5 days, so there's never enough time. i haven't been there in so long - how cool is it that we actually live close to something really old! we don't have to go to Europe to see sweet old stuff. :) love it.
oh and speaking of missions - have you ever seen the movie "the mission?" it's older, from the 80s, but it's way good - with robert de niro and jeremy irons. it's probably the only positive movie ever made about the catholic church. ha!
the pix came out great! the bougainvillea is awesome - we are going to put some in our yard. love mom
Just beautiful... My first experience with missions was just recently when I visited San Antonio. They are captivating!
By the way, glad you guys like the book! It's one of my childhood favs!!! Gotta love BOOKS.
