加州教区建筑古迹mission San Juan capistrano (圣胡安 卡皮斯特拉诺) 位于洛杉矶以南,离海滨也很近,不远处就是被称为最美公路的沿海一号高速路起点Dana Point. 暑假里雪儿参加水球青少年奥运会,正好在那个小镇有两场比赛,我们利用午休时间去参观一下。墙上写着Mission建于1776年,正是美国建国的时候,不过那时加州还属西班牙殖民地,1821年归墨西哥,1850年才加入美国联邦成为第31州。
-Nice introduction and photos. how come in my memories, there are total 29 missions? the 3 missions that i visited, 2 of them are not in the list. Mission camel, Mission Ventura, Mission Santa Babara--this one is in the list. i would like to know more as a mission culture in CA state. Somehow, I feel that you have rich western culture after i read some of your posts. I would like to read more, at the same time, see if i can pull out my CA state travel quide book, and read the Mission section in order to know more. Thanks for this wonderful sharing. English forum has less people, but some of the posts are gold, silver, pearl... one like yours.

-Thanks for your comments and have a nice week.Nice to hear that you also had fond memories visiting the missions. The map of the missions was from the Internet, if you look at the mission #2 near Monterey bay, it is called "Mission San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo", the Spanish name for Carmel. And The one below Santa Barbara, #9 is "Mission San Buenaventura", the Ventura one you visited.
