Founding of Mission San Diego de Alcalá

Mission San Diego de Alcalá is a former religious outpost established by Spanish colonists on the west coast of North America in the present-day State of California.

On July 16, 1769 a cross was raised by Roman Catholics of the Franciscan Order, Father Serra held the first Holy Mass, and Mission San Diego de Alcalá was officially founded. The settlement was the first in the twenty-one mission Alta California chain, and is therefore known today as "California's First Church."

The mission remained at this site for only five years. The mission was moved six miles east, close to the San Diego River and the Kumeyaay village of Nipaguay. However, in 1776, Father Serra returned to Mission San Diego de Alcala to oversee the rebuilding of the mission.

Mission San Diego De Alcala Bell Tower

San Diego Mission Church (Mission Basilica San Diego de Alcalá) is a National Historic Landmark. The church’s most distinct architectural feature is a single, four-story bell tower containing five bells of three sizes. One of the bells in the tower is original to the church and dates to 1802. This bell can be distinguished from the others because it is the largest and sports a Spanish Crown at its peak.

Bells were vitally important to daily life at any mission. The bells were rung at mealtimes, to call the Mission residents to work and to religious services, during births and funerals, to signal the approach of a ship or returning missionary, and at other times; novices were instructed in the intricate rituals associated with ringing the mission bells.

A joyous, annual celebration each July honors the mission’s birthday. Visit during the Festival of the Bells for a chance to witness the only time all five bells ring in unison each year. The occasion includes several days of fiestas and events including traditional Spanish food, dance, and music.

Stained Glass Window Father Antonio Ubach

For forty-one years, the name of Father Antonio Dominic Ubach was a familiar one in San Diego. His work included ministry to Indians and to white settlers as far north as San Juan Capistrano, far down into Lower California, and to the interior of Southern California as well. The years have not dimmed the influence of this forceful man; when church history is recalled in Southern California, his name looms large and his deeds are retold.

One of Fr. Antonio Ubach's projects was the beginning of what is today the Immaculate Conception Church in Old Town. 5 July 10, 1868, when the cornerstone was laid, was a proud day for him. Opened for divine worship on July 22, 1917 the Immaculate Conception Church was was not completed and dedicated until 1919 due to the boom that set in for the New San Diego. The Solemn Dedication took place on July 16, 1919.

In 1925 the Immaculate Conception Church in Old Town San Diego was formally transferred to the Order of Saint Francis. The Church has been in continuous operation since that time.

Beautiful Baja Beaches

In a general sense, the Baja Peninsula divides in the middle into two weather zones. The northern half experiences weather similar to that of Southern California, while the southern half has weather patterns like those of Arizona.

The southern state of the peninsula, Baja California Sur, can be divided into three weather regions, the Pacific coastal region, the inland region and the Sea of Cortez region. This is of course a generalization, because like the northern state of Baja California, there are dozens of micro-climates within each region.

Overall Baja California and Baja California Sur experience pleasant weather all throughout the year. Tourists flock to the area in summer in order to take advantage of the miles of beautiful coastline and beaches. And the weather stays warm throughout the winter, making Baja a terrific winter destination, especially for travelers coming from colder parts of the world.

Madonna With Child

La Paz in Mexico is a beautifulful city on the Sea Of Cortez that deserves much more attention than it actually gets. La Paz is also the capital and cultural center of the state of Baja California Sur.

The impressive stone cathedral of Nuestra Senora de la Paz rises majestically in front of the old Jardin Velasco in the historical heart of this dusty humble Baja Town. The suggestive simplicity of its architectural design resembles that of the churches of the Californian missions. Like most Spanish colonial churches in Mexico the architecture alone is worth the visit.

Rest on one of the simple wooden pews and watch the ebb and flow of the church, so much a part of Mexican life. With its series of stunning stained glass windows, wood-carved stations of the cross, and a precious sculpture of the Virgin Mother and infant child, Our Lady of La Paz is one of the most serene cathedrals I have ever visited.

Sunset Sailing In Cabo

Sunset Sailing is one of the most romantic and enchanting experiences when on a vacation in Cabo San Lucas, especially on board the Buccaneer Queen, a legendary 96 ft. long tall wooden ship, that has been used as a movie set and for TV commercials.

Set sail past Cabo's most famous landmark, Land's End, including the Arch, Lovers Beach and the Sea Lion Colony, visit Chileno Bay and the coral reefs, fall in love with the marvelous sunset at the Pacific Ocean. The Buccaneer Pirate Ship is a lot of fun and a great way to see some terrific beaches and often incredible sunsets.

The call of the ocean is something most visitors to Los Cabos simply cannot resist. Whether it's a leisurely day at sea or a stimulating day of snorkeling in one of the many bays along the beachfront, there is a boat just right for your needs.

Baja California - Desert meets Ocean

Being so distant from Mexico City, separated from the rest of Mexico by the Sea of Cortez, the peninsula of Baja California (English Lower California), northwestern Mexico, is 1,300 kilometers (800 miles) long, making it the world's third-longest. When the Spaniards arrived in the Baja California area in 1539, they believed they had reached a mythical island of female warriors governed by Queen Calafia.

The beaches along Baja California's two coasts vary tremendously. The western coast, which faces the Pacific Ocean, is characterized by cool water, ocean swells and occasional heavy surf. Rips are common all along the Pacific coast, and are the ocean's way of finding its level when big waves send lots of water onto the beach. The eastern coast faces the narrow Sea of Cortez and generally has calmer waters.

These days, locals still refer to Baja as La Frontera, the frontier, because it still remains largely undeveloped, except for the desert peninsula's tip, where Los Cabos (the Capes) is booming. Talk about contrasts!

El Arco - The Arch - Cabo San Lucas

The distinctive landmark of Cabo San Lucas is the rugged 200-foot taffy-colored granite rock formation El Arco (The Arch) that erupts from the sea at the tip of the Mexico's Baja California Peninsula. A visit to Land's End, El Arco de Cabo San Lucas, is undoubtedly one of the most popular things to do in Cabo.

Getting there is easy. Just hail a boat taxi (some with glass bottoms) from the Cabo San Lucas Marina. You can view the iconic golden arches from your boat or ask the captain to drop you off and arrange a pick-up time. En route you will pass lazy sea lions basking on the rocks, and Playa del Amour (Lover's Beach) at the base of the rock formations is a perfect spot for a leisurely stroll.

It is called Land's End because, as the crow flies, if you followed a line south from here, you would not touch land again until you reached the South Pole.

La Independencia De Mexico

Historical and cultural mural by Xafrerate Sotomayer in the municipal hall in San Jose del Cabo, Baja California Sur

In the early nineteenth century, Mexico, with a little influence from the US and France, began talking about a revolt against Spain. Father Miguel Hidalgo from Dolores, Mexico, was a leader of one of the rallying groups. People fought for eleven years before they finally won their freedom. Mexican Independence Day on September 16 is a major celebration in Mexico and is bigger than Cinco de Mayo, which celebrates the unlikely Mexican victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla in 1862.

The actual day of September 16 is similar to July Fourth in the US. There are rodeos, parades, bullfights, horseback rider performances and grand feasts. Mexican flags are everywhere and the main plaza in Mexico City is packed. Every year, local mayors and politicians re-enact the famous Grito de Dolores, THE most famous speech by Father Miguel Hidalgo. The crowd roars, cheers and chants, and fireworks light up the sky. And if the food can be made red, white and green (like the Mexican Flag) all the better!

Mexicans that live abroad bring their celebrations with them. In US cities with large Mexican populations, such as Houston or Los Angeles, expatriate Mexicans will have parties and celebrations - you'll probably need a reservation to eat at any popular Mexican restaurant that day!

Flying Kites Into The Wind

Every year Cabo San Lucas, Baja California, Mexico hosts a Kite Festival! During the fiesta the sky is filled with the bright colors and swooping wings of kites of all shapes and sizes. Kite flying enthusiasts from all over come to display their colorful flyers.

If you haven not flown a kite since you were a kid, you will be amazed at how far kites have come. Fom their inspired designs to how easily they take to the skies, today's high fliers are a far cry from the kites of yore. You just run down the beach, and your kite magically lifts up and catches the wind. And it stays up, floating merrily on the breeze until you have had enough.

Flying a kite is great fun. It's also very relaxing ... a great option for a free summer activity that you never grow out of.

Very Large Array Radio Telescopes

Because radio waves are so large - about 100,000 times longer than visible light waves - astronomers need colossal telescopes to collect them. Building a single telescope large enough is impossible, so radio astronomers build arrays. Arrays are huge series of telescopes that work together as one telescope.

The Very Large Array, or VLA, is such a telescope. It is one of the world's premier astronomical radio observatories, and consists of 27 radio antennas in a Y-shaped configuration on the Plains of San Agustin fifty miles west of Socorro, New Mexico. The VLA is a very unique place to visit. As you approach the valley, cellular service becomes non-existent. The isolated desert location - specifically chosen to minimize radio frequency interference - is perfect for reflecting on the mysteries of the universe.

The Very Large Array, or V.L.A., is the most powerful radio telescope in the world. The resolution of the VLA is altered by changing the positions of the dishes. The VLA's maximum angular resolution is better than a tenth of an arc second, comparable to that of the Hubble Space Telescope at optical wavelengths.

Texas Longhorn

Longhorn cattle have been a part of the history of North America since 1493 when Spanish settlers accompanying Christopher Columbus brought the first few long-horned Iberian cattle with them to the Antilles Islands (Puerto Rico, Cuba, Jamaica, and Hispaniola).

Overall, it can be said, then, that between 1493 and the mid-19th century, feral longhorns flourished in the Americas. During that three hundred fifty year period, they used principles of natural selection to develop hardiness, disease resistance, ease of calving, strong mothering instincts, and other traits vital to their survival.

In 1964, the first registry was established to perpetuate breeding records and confirm the purity of blood lines for breeders of Texas Longhorn cattle. Since that time, the numbers of registered Texas Longhorn cattle has soared, and by the late 1990s, it had exceeded 250,000. Breeders now exist in all 50 states as well as Canada, Mexico and many other countries.

Emily Morgan Hotel In San Antonio

Listed in the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Alamo Plaza, The Emily Morgan Hotel - a DoubleTree by Hilton is housed in what was formerly the Medical Arts Building.

Famous architect Ralph Cameron designed the thirteen-story tower of reinforced concrete with glazed terra cotta at the three lower and three upper stories in 1924 as the Medical Arts Building. A light colored brick faces the intervening stories. The building's distinctive form and ornamentation are influenced by the Gothic revival that was the fashion for skyscrapers nationwide in the 1920s. The panels between the first and second stories, as well as the marquee over the main entrance, are of cast iron painted to simulate bronze. The roof is copper with wood ribs. Terra cotta gargoyles depicting figures with various ailments, including toothaches and other medical troubles, are perhaps the most interesting architectural feature of this unique building.

In 1976, the Medical Arts Building was converted into a modern office building. In 1984, the building was adapted for use as a hotel and The Emily Morgan Hotel was founded.
