在南加州过冬 - Mission Inn

 

这次来加州住的时间最长，从去年感恩节前到今年的4月份。儿子一家去台湾避疫情去了，让我们来这里住，即可避寒充分享受阳光，又可以帮他们收拾院子（割草还是包出去的）。疫情期间，除了买菜， 走路，我们基本待在家里。没有操劳，还不时享受儿孙们传来的欢乐时光。开这个系列开始记录一下我们的生活点滴。

南加州河滨市的Mission Inn 我来过不止一次，非常喜欢。今年圣诞节期间专门来看看它的节日装饰，沾一点圣诞喜庆气氛，驱逐疫情带来的阴霾。

From Mission Inn website:

Mission Inn Hotel & Spa began as a quaint adobe boarding house in 1876, becoming a full-service hotel in the early 1900s. Opened by Frank Miller, it expanded in 1903 with over 200 guestrooms and the addition of the Mission Wing, built in Mission-Revival style while incorporating architectural features from more than 20 different California missions. Three more wings materialized as demand grew, including the Cloister, Spanish Wing and the Rotunda Wing, completed in 1931. Miller filled the hotel with valuable items from across the globe, including artwork, furniture and religious relics. Mission Inn still houses the oldest bell in Christendom, dating back to 1247.

The following pictures are taken a few years back.

Part of the complexity is an unexpected change of scale as Miller tailored certain portions of the property for his short sister.

我不是为它做广告，但是140美元左右能在这个有历史有艺术的旅馆住住真的值得。
