Pacific Coast Photo Coastal Tour including the San Juan Capistrano Mission
Day: Monday, April 14
Time: 1:30 pm - 5:30 pm
Cost: $28:00 per person

Discover the enchantment of the San Juan Capistrano Mission, where the swallows continue to arrive on March 19 (St. Joseph's Day) and remain to bear their young and teach them to fly for a brief seven months. On October 23 (St. John's Day), they begin their 6,000 mile journey back to the town of Goya, Argentina where spring has just begun for them again.

The San Juan Capistrano Mission, perhaps most well known for its "return of the swallows" each year is also known as the "Jewel of the Missions." Perhaps nowhere else does the sheer tranquility and benign character of mission life and of old Spanish California come so vividly to life. Containing very precious and graphically intact testimonials, the mission serves a living treasure house for a glorious chapter in early California history.

Next, we'll travel up the coast and view the coastal communities of Laguna Beach, Corona Del Mar and Newport Beach. The tour guide gives all kinds of interesting information on the history of the area, property values and community regulations, plant and fauna identification.
