Just down the road from the campground is the San Luis Del Ray Mission, the Eighteenth Mission of the 21 founded in California.
We visited there on Thursday, it was a glorious afternoon and we had a very pleasant time looking at the old mission. I had noticed that above the entrance to the Mission's cemetery was a skull and crossbones. On enquiring I was told that this was a relatively recent addition. In the 50's Walt Disney made a series called Zorro, with Guy Williams as Zorro. They used the Mission to do some of the location filming and the skull and crossbones was part of their set, which they left for posterity, fascinating.
After the Mission visit we re-visited and old haunt, we had noticed a local branch of The Home Town Buffet and thought we should give it a try, for old times sake. We were quite impressed both at the variety and quality of the food available, I am sure that the kids would enjoy it now just as much as they did when we ate there in 1997.
