Hello, everyone.
Today I thought I'd write about a lovely place in California,
Mission San Luis Rey.
This is an old mission from the days when California was a Spanish colonial expansion. The cemetary is still in use, at least for interring ashes anyway. I have some relatives who are buried there. They have a sweet, little gift shop, the only place I have been that has medals of King St. Louis of France (patron of the mission) for sale.

| Beautiful blooming tree on the grounds (in early September)--I think it's a eucalyptus. |
