Jane Reporting for 8th September
We're back at the motel now after a visiting the Old Mission. The Mission was founded in 1786 and the current building is the fourth on the site, completed in 1820 after the third was destroyed in the 1812 earthquake. All of which makes it pretty old in my book.

Naturally, I was very intrigued by the cloisters (not sure if they are called that in a Spanish Mission):

Here are a couple of photos of the tourists:

The fountain, built in 1808, was gorgeous and even the crows thought so as they came in one at a time to drink from the water spout.

We then headed back to the waterfront, on the way passing an 'Entering Tsunami Hazard Zone' warning sign. Not just words in Santa Barbara as the 1812 earthquake which destroyed most of the town generated a tsunami.
