Pat attended the first day of the Coastwalk Board Meeting in Sebastopol and Judy went shopping. After dropping Pat off at the meeting, Judy went to the factory outlet mall in Petaluma and bought a few more things for the upcoming cruise.
The meeting was over at 2:00 PM and we then traveled to San Rafael (:45 minute drive from Sebastopol) to tour the San Rafael Mission (San Rafael Arcangel- Mission 20). This Mission was originally established in 1812 as a sanitarium and hospital for people housed at the Mission in San Francisco. Due to its success, it was raised to full Mission status in 1817. The Mission chapel is a replica of the original chapel, rebuilt on the same site in 1949 by William Randolph Hearst after the original buildings were demolished in 1870 for firewood. It is adjacent to a large working Catholic Church and school with what appears to be a diverse ethnic congregation.
This evening, we went to the Coastwalk Executive Director’s house in Sebastopol for dinner with the Coastwalk Board of Directors.
The weather has been great so far and the itinerary timing worked O.K. Tomorrow will be a busy day with Day 2 of the Coastwalk Board meeting until noon then a road trip to San Jose and Santa Clara and back for two more missions.
