在南加州過冬 - Mission Inn

 

這次來加州住的時間最長，從去年感恩節前到今年的4月份。兒子一家去台灣避疫情去了，讓我們來這裏住，即可避寒充分享受陽光，又可以幫他們收拾院子（割草還是包出去的）。疫情期間，除了買菜， 走路，我們基本待在家裏。沒有操勞，還不時享受兒孫們傳來的歡樂時光。開這個係列開始記錄一下我們的生活點滴。

南加州河濱市的Mission Inn 我來過不止一次，非常喜歡。今年聖誕節期間專門來看看它的節日裝飾，沾一點聖誕喜慶氣氛，驅逐疫情帶來的陰霾。

進到裏麵，聖誕氛圍撲麵而來。

 

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.

古色古香

每層樓都有些古董，這是頂樓的。

我不是為它做廣告，但是140美元左右能在這個有曆史有藝術的旅館住住真的值得。
