Charming Mission San Juan Bautista was founded in 1797 by the Franciscan Order. It is the 15th mission and one of the largest in California. It's a popular destination for elementary school children from the neighboring farming communities and is the dominant attraction in the little town of San Juan Bautista. We made a stopover to visit it on our drive down to Morro Bay. There's plenty to see around the lovely grounds as well as inside the church and museum...
Here are a few shots from the downtown area. It was quite sleepy when we were there, but there are several nice looking eateries and quite a few gift shops...

Someone I corresponded with for years lived in Morro Bay - now I've an idea of the place and it kinda fits.
