to Capistrano

Picking up where we left off . . .

The only reason I show you this is because it’s the last picture I took before Logan fell in that fountain right there. That’s right, we had to fish Logan out of the fountain in the Sacred Garden in San Juan Capistrano. He and Naomi are both typically pretty good about walking along ledges, having gotten a considerable amount of practice.  So Jake was watching Naomi and I was considering the bells when we heard the splash!  As soon as we’d gotten Logan out, we had a good laugh; what else could we do?  It’s always an adventure with kids in tow!

                            

The picturesque scene of the crime.

The perpetrator and his accomplice.

 
Moving around the corner, we come to the ruins of the great cathedral.  It’s hard to give you a sense of this place: the scale of it and the scale of the destruction embodied by it.  Pretty impressive all around.

             
                               
Stepping away from that, we find ourselves back in the gardens with probably the nicest koi pond I’ve seen outside of Japan.
                      

And that concludes our tour today.  Thanks for stopping by!
