Random TOPh: #1042 (of 9414)

Using an online random number generator, I pulled this That Old Photo from the archives.


In the summer of 1999, Drew and I took a great road trip (scandalous, I know) through Utah to San Diego; up the California coast to San Francisco via Los Angeles, stopping at all the mission churches we could find; back down through Sacramento to Lake Havasu, AZ, where Drew's grandma lived; and returning to the Denver/Boulder area through southern Colorado (think: Mesa Verde). I'm reasonably sure that this is the Mission San Buenaventura in Ventura, though it doesn't look quite the same: it seems the place was restored in 2005.
