ScoutTheGoldenGeoRetriever and I took Tara on a tour of our little beach twon, Ventura-CA. One of the Ventura icons is the beautiful San Buenaventura Mission (founded 1782) - one of the 21 missions established along the coast of California by the Spanish missionaries. We have posted two photos - one of Tara in front of the mission and another by a fountain just across the street from the mission - with two famous old ad murals (Ghiradelli chocolate and Borax bleach) in the background.
