San Juan Capistrano

We arrived at Santiago Catholic Event and Retreat Center in the late afternoon on Friday. This center is hidden away in the Silverado Canyon area just east of Mission Viejo. We are comfortably perched on the canyon hillside above the campgrounds below. They are holding vacation bible camp for kids during the week on the lower canyon site. In the middle canyon they are hosting a catholic Vietnamese young adult group and they seem to be having a great time. I am enjoying the sound of their exuberant cheers and singing. The RV area is located on the top level amidst eucalyptus trees and dry shrub. Hard to believe Luke and Lei are only 12 miles away.



Yesterday morning we went to a fabulous breakfast brunch in San Juan Capistrano, then off to tour the mission. Hard to believe that Father Junipero Sera established the mission in 1776! The grounds were beautiful! Here are some shots to enjoy.
