Pulled off the road a bit south of Paso Robles, into the town of San Miguel. Not a prosperous place, dusty streets and a sad downtown,but the mission !
Having helped a middle-schooler make a replica CA mission out of foam board makes all the features in your photos vividly alive to me. Oh, the miniature bells, the tiny arcaded cloisters! Seriously, what a haunting place!

ReplyDeleteYou have to hand it to those 18th century Spaniards, they knew how to architect achingly beautiful buildings. Beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteI love road trip posts!
My late uncle Ronald used to provide old railroad bells to Mexican missions. A fond reminder of a special guy. Thanks KS!
ReplyDeleteGreat post. I recently did one on Carmel Mission. It is fun to find someone who likes some of the same things as I do :)
