Weslept in and ate a late breakfast “out” this morning at the Apple FarmRestaurant in San Louis Opbispo, a favorite of ours from previous visits. The weather was cooler than yesterday andsomewhat overcast. We then toured themission as part of our California mission tour. We had actually been here before, Pat and I once and I was here once bymyself while Pat was attending a Coastwalk board meeting.
MissionSan Louis Opispo de Tolosa is still aworking Catholic church, as are several of the other 21 missions stretchingfrom San Diego to Sonoma. The church,courtyard, gardens and compound has been fully restored and retrofitted for anypossible earthquakes. The interior ofthe church is fairly plain and primitive, not over-decorated like some of theother missions on our tour. The mission setting is beautiful, set along SanLuis Creek in the middle of the city. There is a small museum and gift shop; entrance to the mission is freewith a donation box available.
Afterwardswe walked around the city, bought lattes and window shopped, then drove to alocal mall and shopped some more. Afterbuying a few groceries, we came back to the RV, worked on this blog and thepictures (Pat), read for a while and took a nap (me), and hitched up the VW inpreparation for leaving tomorrow morning. It is supposed to start raining tonight, so we will eat dinner in.
