San Luis Obispo Mini-vacation, Day 3

On Sunday morning, we drove into San Luis Obispo and visited the San Luis Obispo Mission in between services.  The Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa was founded by Father Junipero Serra on 1 September, 1772 and was named after Saint Louis, the Bishop of Toulouse, France. The Mission is located in the "Valley of the Bears", so named due to the abundance of grizzlies in the area at the time.

The trees and flowers in and around the mission were so lush.
