We drove up to Los Angeles to visit Mission San Fernando Rey de España, the seventeenth of California's 21 old missions.         Mission San Fernando Rey de España blev indviet 8. september, 1797, af Fader Fermin Francisco de Lasuén, kun fire måneder efter første spadestik. Mission San Fernando Rey de España was dedicated 8 September 1797 by Padre Fermin Francisco de Lasuén, four short months after groundbreaking.         Appelsiner i missionshaven ~ Oranges in the mission garden

I dag har Mission San Fernando Rey de España stort set genvundet sit oprindelige udseende, men før missionen blev restaureret i 1920erne, lå den i ruiner. Siden 1847 havde missionen tjent som varehus, hestestald og svineholderi, gulvene var hakket op af guldgravere og generelt forfald hærgede. Today Mission San Fernando Rey de España looks largely as it did originally, but before the mission was restored in the 1920s it was in ruins. Since 1847 the mission had served as a warehouse, a horse stable, and a pig farm, the floors had been broken up by gold prospectors, and general delapidation was rampant.         Fader Lasuéns kammer ~ Padre Lasuén's chamber             Klosterkøkken ~ Convent kitchen
