At first glance, it looks like the once-upon-a-time Franciscan monk Junipero Serra is actually taking a late afternoon walk through the rose garden at Mission San Juan Bautista.
Hollister, California is a real town that has been around since the 1870s. Unlike the fictional town created by a corporate clothing company, Hollister is no where near a beach. The town is about 45 miles east of the Pacific Ocean. Seagulls occasionally make their way over the mountains. Hopefully, they are able to find their way back.
A California shot for sure!

Totally -- bronze statues of 18th century Jesuit monks standing next to old Spanish missions. :-)

ReplyDeleteAn even more wonderful spot is to the side. You can sit on a bench overlooking San Juan Valley. It's a beautiful view. Also right below runs the San Andreas Fault.
