June 8

To make up for yesterday we saw 4 missions today.  They were all around Los Angeles.  We also saw four wedding parties and a birthday party!

San Inez is in a tourist town called Solvang.  It is made to look like a town in Denmark.

Next stop:  Santa Barbara Mission.  This one is very large and very busy.

Final stop:  San Fernando.  In the park across from it there were two weddings and a birthday party.  In the mission itself there was another wedding.  A band played when the bride and groom came out of the church.
