Weekend in Oceanside. ca...
I have expend most of my time looking at Baja Missions sites and kind off i forgot about the ones in california (alta).,
I was here this weekend taking some pictures,walking about the mission site talking to people at the gift shop.To wich I was explaining my infactuation with missions and ruins., to wich I reply about my visit to the Baja missions, to my sourpraise the lady said " I didn't know they have missions over there:?:".. So I have to go on in telling her all about them is not like if i was been force to but i enjoy doing that.
Whe finish our tour and head back to San Diego to have dinner..Here are some of the pictures...

Ps. Feliz ano nuevo aka Happy new year...2007
May all you wishes happen in Baja....

Nice picks CAT!

I live a 'block' (one traffic signal east) from the mission! Baja Angel and I were watching movies and the Charger game yesterday... sorry we didn't know you were in the 'hood!

Good on you for educating the person(s) at the mission... For our entire school system in California says the first California mission was San Diego! In fact the first successful California mission was Loreto some 68 years earlier!!!
