Rodin Sculpture Garden – Free Art Exhibit at Stanford
Stanford is known worldwide as an excellent institution of higher education, but there is more. The campus is also a lovely place to spend an afternoon gazing upon larger than life bronze sculptures at the Rodin Sculpture Garden.
Carmel Mission Basilica – San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo Mission
When I was a fourth grader, I studied the California missions, just like all public school students. Then when I had children of my own, they did the same. All of those memories came back to me on a recent visit to the Carmel Mission.
