Re: PESO 2018 - A Stop by the Side of the Road - GDG

I should stop back and visit it again. I've visited the mission a couple of 
times, at least once when my mom was visiting me, but the most recent of those 
times has to be 23 to 25 years ago. I remember some interesting story about the 
organ there, but don't recall what it was.

It would be a nice day ride there and back, and there might be some nice photo 
ops ... Some time this summer! :-)

Probably in fourth or fifth grade if I remember my California elementary school 
curriculum of the 1960s correctly.

Speaking of missions, did you know that Cotty once built a model of
the Mission at San Luis Obispo out of sugar cubes?

True.

When you go back, if you're a history buff and haven't done this 
already, stop by the Mission San Juan Bautista and take a look at the 
18th century barrel organ.  There is an interesting story behind it's 
being there.

It was on the way home, however. I may have to ride back down there to see if a 
similar day presents itself.

I agree, it's not the best. Just a quickie... that's also why it's a 000 
numbering; it's not in my year's PESO sequence, just a one off.

The 1x setting on the phone gave too wide a view so I went to the 2x setting..

I don't mind it, but wish I had some more head and foot room.
