| NOT Mission San Juan Bautista in April, 2006, but Mission San Antonio de Padua |
Dear Readers, I'm introducing a new weekly feature called A Sunday Flashback today. Last week, I needed to go through my photo archive for Take 25 to Hollister and I was quite overwhelmed by the number of photos, as well as amazed at how some things around the county have changed just within the past 10 years.
Mission San Juan Bautista, for instance. Who remembers the bells being out in front of the church entrance? I don't, even while I look at the photo I took in 2006.
So, when did the change take place? In 2010, the mission went through another restoration and a bell wall was added to the church.
FLASH UPDATE: The husband has just informed me that the above photo is not of Mission San Juan Bautista, but of Mission San Antonio de Padua! He said that he'd always seen Mission San Juan Bautista as painted white, so he started looking back at all the missions we have visited. Thank you, Husband!
No wonder I couldn't recall Mission San Juan Bautista looking that way before 2010. So much for the the first Sunday Flashback. LOL!

The bells make an attractive feature.
ReplyDeleteThey certainly do.
DeleteThe first photo is of Mission San Antonio de Padua. See the photo at this Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission_San_Antonio_de_Padua
ReplyDeleteThanks, Husband. I'm glad you scratched your head and went searching for what I thought was Mission San Juan Bautista.
DeleteBoth places are fabulous and stir the heart.
ReplyDeleteThey truly do, Maggid. :-)
