ReplyDeleteCaro, MC, BT and friends,
I was at the Mission yesterday but I got there too late to take the tour. Thus, I could not see the inside. It was about half an hour drive from Little Saigon but it was well worth the dive. I fell in love with San Juan Capistrano right away, a small town by the beach, right on Pacific Coast Highway, with wonderful art gallery and shops, restaurants and needless to say beautiful beach. I drove hundred times up and down that way from and to San Diego, now I just discovered San Juan Capistrano thanks to PNEH.
