Mission San Antonio de Padua

Mission San Antonio de Padua is remote and beautiful.  And in the middle of Fort Hunter-Ligget.  We stopped there on our way back from Santa Barbara and spent a nice hour touring the Mission ...
...and the fabulous museum (this Mission was host to both a pear tree that bore enormous fruit and the first Catholic marriage in California!)...
... harassing the Mission's flea-ridden cat... 
... taking a rest in the colorful chapel and checking out the views...
... and, of course, their enormous olive tree!

I think Beatrice does enjoy our visits to the Missions.  She has even started asking to read the "Mish book" too...
