I’m currently living only about 15 miles north of this mission, but in the years I’ve been here, I’ve never before stopped for a visit. Today, my son and I were down this way, and we took the time to stop.

It’s a beautiful building, and the museum is small, but interesting. The church is gorgeous, and my son and I both enjoyed wandering through the cemetery, looking at gravestones, maybe of which bear names which are familiar to anyone living in this area: Livermore, Bernal, Vallejo. It was worth a visit.
