Tuesday, March 9, 2004 (cont'd): Mission at San Juan Capistrano

Mission at San Juan Capistrano On to the Mission at San Juan Capistrano. The grounds are lovely. I took lots of pictures. But, sigh, I couldn’t keep from thinking bitterly about the enslaved Indians who were forced to do all the labor and who died as a result of the Spanish arrogance and intolerance.
