Mission San Gabriel

Way back when, I was keeping track of missions I visited. While in LA, I stayed in Pasadena (thank you Noel!). I knew there was a mission close by so on my way home to San Diego, I made a quick stop at Mission San Gabriel.
Una volta, tenevo una lista di missioni di California che andavo a vedere. In tanto che ero a Los Angeles, dormivo a Pasadena. La citta' di San Gabriel e' molto vicina e loro hanno una chiesa. Sulla via di casa, mi sono fermata a visitarla.

There was this sweet aroma of oranges throughout the mission grounds.

The valencia orange was first introduced at this mission site.
