~ This grand trail runs through the heart of California and it’s carefully interlaced with the iconic bells. As one moves through the Camino Real it also touches nearly every California Mission.
~ This weekend’s get away I was able to witness the ruins of the local San Juan Capistrano Mission in the Orange County. With a beautiful preserved chapel and grand archway, walking throughout the grounds gave me a somber feeling. Perhaps of what was accepted back in that day. For example the use and abuse of the local indigenous folks. Their replacement into colonial Catholic/Christian society.
To a weekend of just celebrating love.
Let’s remember we receive love in all ways. So please enjoy loving and caring for each other, always.
