Laguna Beach & San Juan Capistrano

9 September 2023

We had a whole day before the Ikebana events started so we headed south.  First stop was Laguna Beach to see several art exhibits.  After lunch we spent the afternoon at Mission San Juan Capistrano, then headed back toward the ocean to watch the sunset.
