San Juan Capistrano Vacations, San Juan Capistrano Vacation Reviews, Tourism Guide

There was not a swallow in sight. Although I understand they were there in the old mission. I spent a few days wondering the streets of San Juan Capistrano and exploring the area.

An impromptu long weekend in New Zealand's South Island, followed by a brief return to Sydney and a long flight home. Two and a half months of travel bliss...

The San Juan Capistrano Mission was founded by Spanish priests in 1776. It is nicknamed the Jewel of the Missions. The city of San Juan Capistrano is located south of Los Angeles and north of San Diego.
