Apple Blossoms

Apple Blossoms at Pala Asistencia, Pala, California. (Tanya photo, 2009)

One of the Stations added to the chain of missions founded by the early Catholic Missionaries in Alta California. The church at Pala is located on the Indian reservation of the Pala tribe--about 50 miles north of San Diego.

The present buildings of the Asistencia include school classrooms, an office, gift shop, small but interesting museum and a very well restored and preserved church--built in a square surrounding a lovely garden.

Papier Mache and Art Production Class

Al, one of the old-timers in my papier mache and art class, works beside Zaccai, at nine, the youngest (and newest) person in the class. Al, who worked in Hollywood as a Prop Boy at the MGM Studio in the Golden Age of Movies, knew John Wayne, Judy Garland, and many of the great artists of that time--said he thought Zaccai had a lot of artistic talent.
