Field Trip

The missions in California are a large part of the history of this state. We visited the Carmel Mission and really gained an appreciation for the role that missions played. The founder of the Carmel Mission walked from Mexico and when he needed something from the authorities in Mexico he walked back to ask! The ubiquitous fog prevented explorers from finding the San Fransisco Bay, but apparently they had sailed by the Monterey Bay on one of the clear days.
We walked through the main church as well as the garden and ended the tour with an impromptu picnic with friends.
Learning and playing all packaged together, can it get any better?
