    1. I had to look that up. The New is the developed resort town, upscale, gondolas, shops etc. designed for tourism and recreation. Old is the original 19th century settlement with cabins and lodges, a more natural setting.

  4. The missions and Mammoth Lakes? You're hitting places I'm familiar with. Cool.

    1. I've not been to Mammoth, but some of the missions? Of course! 4th graders always took (probably still do) a field trip to Mission San Jose. My grandmother lived in San Mateo, a street off one off El Camino Real, with its bells.

  6. Fascinating that the all the missions were built over a short period of time. I like how the Boston streets are lined with people
