A map we looked at showed that from here on down, the California coastline was studded with little missions, the kind set up by the Spanish back in the day when everyone was trying to civilize the natives. One of the more famous missions is located in Santa Barbara.The Santa Barbara Mission was bustling with school field trips and tourists. The place had quite a history and was very old. The dilapidated stone tanning vats used by the early monks served as the perfect place for us to sit a while and pray.
These vats were located in a little park across the street from the mission. After prayer, David showed me wild sage growing throughout the park. One taste of that and I was hooked!
Surprisingly the last place I wanted to go for dinner was Inn-N-Out, two nights in a row were enough. We were only a few hours from Fallbrook, so we knew that tonight would be our last night on the road. A little splurge seemed appropriate. David treated us out to Souplantation. Basically our dining experience was spent with the whole restaurant gawking at Arrow! We're starting to get accustom to the super star aura that seems to follow him everywhere we go.
