We are only getting one version of the story here. That poor priest got caught up in the middle sad to say, as so many do. How interesting about the pomegranates in Hawaii and Turkey. I loved seeing them at the mission on the trees.

It made me curious as to why the Kumeyaay warriors killed the poor priest. He was certainly very brave and pious, but I've read that the Kumeyaay people resented the Spanish invasion into their land. It's funny that we have pomegranates in Hawaii but when I saw them in Turkey, I was fascinated by them because there was so many of them.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461569436322815787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5647334797160181392.post-25144000772473821772020-10-09T12:29:54.463-04:002020-10-09T12:29:54.463-04:00Glad you enjoyed Diane.

There was a large church we wanted to explore further but never made it inside. There was such a lot to see and it is on the list for whenever we go back, plus visiting other areas. We will get off the freeway and visit other towns next time and not rush through the State.DeniseinVAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08494518513936310345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5647334797160181392.post-57349980668041636162020-10-09T12:01:58.797-04:002020-10-09T12:01:58.797-04:00Thank you Christine, I remember it was very peacef...Thank you Christine, I remember it was very peaceful, especially when we first arrived.DeniseinVAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08494518513936310345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5647334797160181392.post-57430339407363402022020-10-09T12:01:01.876-04:002020-10-09T12:01:01.876-04:00Thanks Sandra, I know what you mean.
