Hello everyone.
Spring break's already ended, and school has already resumed for almost two weeks. However, I'd like to write about a short trip to Mission San Juan Capistrano during my break.
Founded in 1776, Mission San Juan Capistrano is one of the oldest Missions in Southern California. It is a beautiful and popular place to visit. There were a lot of kids there during my visit :) Must be a great place for school outings. This was my second time visiting. I thought San Juan Capistrano was so pretty that I had to come again with a proper camera.
The ruins are breathtaking! According to the audio guide, the mission collapsed during a huge earthquake.
I don't know what occasion it was. I must say, Americans are very patriotic.
The ruin and the courtyard.
Within the mission, there's a small church (that is still in use today) called Serra Church. I felt really peaceful just sitting in there, even though I am not Christian. I thought it might be disrespectful to put pictures of the church up here.
The candles at the church. I've always loved candles, and I thought they were beautiful.
Another thing that I really like about Mission San Juan Capistrano is the beautiful assortment of flowers that thrive there.
Aren't they lovely? I'm such a floral girl haha.
After visiting the mission, my mom and I walked around in a town nearby. The town was lovely as well; very cute houses and shops, and people were really friendly. I think the boutiques there are definitely worth visiting!
These white doves at a boutique were so cute! They snuggled together and cooed softly.
There was even a petting zoo!
If you ever get to visit SoCal, Mission San Juan Capistrano is definitely a place worth visiting. It's historical, beautiful and interesting. There are also a lot of nice restaurants and boutiques nearby!
