If you have been reading my blog this week, I am sure by now you are saying, "Enough about the mission." Well, sorry to disappoint you if you have but I am not done yet. My PhotoHunt post this week is also related to my visit to the Mission of San Diego de Alcala.
During our visit, it was hard not to notice the two guys hard at work applying some sort of fresh thick white plaster onto the wooden beams.
I apologize for missing many PhotoHunt posts the past couple of weeks. I will try to get to everyone this weekend. I finally caught up replying to some of the comments on my blog and am still working on catching up with everyone else's blogs. I thought with the furloughs, I would have more time and energy having Fridays off, but having to get five days of work done in four days almost weekly has been overwhelming and exhausting. I hope to catch up with everyone this weekend, if doing my taxes does not swallow me up.

You are very creative, very good take on this weeks theme. I have enjoyed reading all of your posts about the SD GTG. Have a happy week end.

Interesting! The mission looked so remarkably white in your photos, I wonder how often they freshen it up!

Like your idea for this post - and I've enjoyed every one of your mission posts. Mahalo from someone not present at this seemingly fantastic event. The photos and blogs helped me be part of the fun from a distance. m

Great shots for the theme. What a beautiful and interesting Mission. I looked back on your earlier posts about it and you took some great photographs.

I am enjoying your posts about the San Diego Mission. I love visiting California Missions, so I was so sorry to have missed the visit you all went on.

I haven't seen anyone go for a fresh coat of paint. Nice one!

SandraK, thanks!
sandrac, I wonder also. It really was as white as in the photos.
bing, thanks :)
menehune, too bad you were not able to attend. There is talk of maybe one in Boston in the future.
Carver, thanks! Glad you enjoyed my photos. I think you would have loved seeing the flowers and plants.
Eden, have you visited many? Too bad you didn't join us.
jams, thanks :) I tried to think outside the box on this one.
Marta, I really appreciate your feedback. Glad you liked my photos :)

I'm not tired of the mission posts at all. This is a unique take on the theme (many of us did food!).

Hi Girasoli, great take on this week's theme. I have really enjoyed looking at your beautiful mission photos from your time attending the SD GTG (especially since I sadly had to miss it). I also wonder how often they have to freshen it up.
Thanks so much for sharing your photos and posting about the GTG. I really enjoyed reading about how much fun it was. Have a great day.

Great photos! I imagine that there's constant work and repair done on the mission due to its age.
