The Angel of Healing

8/14/2015

10 Comments

 
I'm continuing my "friend tour" in the beautiful small city of San Rafael in the North Bay area. Sara and I had about a dozen years of catching up to do in 3 days but we did a pretty good job of it! 

We also did a walking tour of downtown which includes the 20th Spanish mission,  Mission San Rafael Archangel, founded in 1817. The mission and the city are named after the Archangel Raphael, the Angel of Healing. There were quite a few interesting sites to see but I'll let the photos tell the rest of the story.

What a lovely, quaint community. Looking at your photo from the 90's, I am struck by the physical resemblance of you and Rebecca. that I never noticed.

Ed, Thanks for continuing to follow & comment! I love hearing the responses! Indeed, there is so much to see & do. Pescadero was lovely; updates are now 3 locations behind! Working on that before I return to the woods this weekend!

I wish my migraine head had allowed us to see some more good stuff, but the hours & hours of chatting were much better anyway! My friend Sandra said to me as you drive away, isn't it great spending time with friends, who when you get together after years and years, it feels like no time has passed? Indeed.

Yes, the Spanish & Portuguese were just everywhere weren't they? Interesting how similar the coasts are with the religious and maritime influences.
