Carmel Mission and Shopping

After breakfast, we played games and sat on our balcony, enjoying the morning.  We left by 10, and went to the Carmel Mission, built in 1797.  We spent over an hour exploring the courtyard, the chapel, and museum.  It is a beautiful place.

Next up, we went shopping in downtown Carmel.  Carmel was founded in 1902 and has always been known as “home to artists.”  We visited lots of art galleries and Lauren shopped for stickers, a sweatshirt, and more.  We had a late lunch at a French restaurant and shopped more.  Lauren and I spent about forty five minutes in the hot tub then went to the wine and cheese reception, before watching a movie.  Another good day!
