Mission San Juan Capistrano

San Juan Capistrano Library, CA.


    I almost gave up on finding the San Juan Capistrano Mission after driving by it last night and then spending over an hour trying to find it again this morning. [One of the maddening things when you take a wrong turn is that you often have to drive 3-4 miles before you can turn around; and, of course, there are the ever-present on-ramps (some of which are down-hill) onto the numerous freeways here in Southern California.]

....
    Don't know if the original mission merely had a painted dome as the current version appears to or a copper roof when the term "basilica" is used. Let's see what the Wikipedia article on this mission at this link tells us. (The Wikipedia article is exceedingly long; will see if I can find a shorter history.)
