Day 34 ~ San Juan Bautista


We woke up in Pismo Beach this morning to on and off rain showers. Most of the drive we continued to have rain and wind.
After settling in at our RV Park we drove to the San Juan Bautista Mission (1797) and visited the museum and church (1803). The church still has mass on Saturday and Sunday. The buildings are along the San Andreas Fault and were severly damaged in 1906. Between 1976 and 1997 a large portion of the buildings were restored. In 1957 Alfred Hitchcock's "Vertigo" was filmed on the mission grounds.
The sun was shining again but it was so cold we quickly toured the buildings and grounds. Unfortunately we did not take the time to really enjoy what there was to see. We were all anxious to return to the car.
So this is the end of our trip.
I am really ready to get home. We have had many great experiences but it has been so cold. I cannot wait to climb into a tub of hot bubbly water.
So that is all for now, until our next adventure ..........
