photography by robert swetz: Alaska Bob visits San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo Mission California - 09/29/15 11:19 AM
   
The San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo Mission located at Carmel by the Sea Monterey Peninsula California is such an amazing place.
 
I have been traveling to Carmel by the Sea for so many years now, and this was the very first time that Alaska Bob has ever been inside.
 

 
Last Saturday 9-26-2015, I took these wonderful photos of what some call the Carmel Mission for short.
And for anyone that spent time at Carmel by the Sea and
haven't had the chance to step inside the mission, take a look inside next time.
