MY WEEK IN PHOTOS: MAY 11-17, 2015!
This is a week of lots of Gettyland work, design struggles for Dick Duquesne, and a end of week mini-vacation to San Juan Capistrano to see the “historic” California bits and bobs.
Enjoy!
Heading off to a middle school today to give a career day talk. Pretty nervous. I am not cool. I was not cool in middle school…*haunting memories*

Decided to check out the San Juan Capistrano Mission. I think this was my mission in 5th grade.
Hollyhock!
Views of the Mission
Missions are weird spaces. Lots of California kids (maybe speaking too general here) have done mission projects, built missions, and know that California is the coast with all these cool old buildings. Even at the mission things are framed like “Native Americans were converted! They got housing! They had ‘jobs’ around the mission!” But…we know how that really went…
Canteen of holy water
I mean, it is still dazzling and exciting to visit an actual historic site that dates earlier than the 1800s.
The ruins of the great stone church
California earthquakes make stone buildings a struggle
Time to get serious. I’ve never been to the Costco liquor section…everything is HUGE!!!!! (And nah, we didn’t get the patron)
But we did stock up for a weekend with friends.
Enjoyin’ some relaxing this afternoon
