This Mission was founded by Padre Junipero Serra in 1769. Over 4000 Indians were baptised at Carmel in the following 60 years but by 1823 the Indian population had dwindled to 381 due to the lack of natural immunity to European diseases.

Inside the Mission it is simple but very beautiful.
After lunch we headed to the beach and despite it being overcast it was reasonably warm. Gaye and I walked the full length of the beach.
Thomas was fascinated by this wooden Pelican outside the Fish shop where we bought some very expensive Halibut for our evening meal. It was delicious.
And to finish today's blog Gaye and Elliot enjoying some time together.
