California is speckled with Missions. Each and everyone one is different in size, color and current level of rehabilitation. They are a lot of fun to visit and a good excuse for a drive. My parents even took their honeymoon in 1969 visiting various missions up and down California. I’m not sure how popular that is now-a-days to do so. But, it’s a good excuse to drive the state and see what there is to see and visit everything in between. Mission San Rafael is clearly the recipient of a lot of love because it looks like new! #PINK I’ve always fancied trying to visit every mission. With any luck one day I’ll have them all checked off the list!

I love visiting Missions and tried to see as many as possible during our numerous visits to Texas. Always glad to see them maintained.

I’ve never seen one in Texas. Are a lot of them restored like here with some still in a state of disrepair?

They look vastly different than the light colored stucco ones in CA, but are also maintained. The ones I’ve visited were in San Antonio and Goliad, TX and offered fascinating history.

How cool. I’ve only been to Texas a few times and never made it to anything like that.

Quite beautiful. I’ve been to several California Missions over the years but not all of them. Curt
