I visited Mission Delores. its the Northern most mission of Father Junipero Serra's in California. It started in 1782-1791. It was built by Ohone Native Americans. It is located in the Mission District of San Francisco. I took the self guided tour of the mission. I saw the smaller church, I saw pictures of Pope John Paul II visiting the church in April 27, 2014. The Basilica (larger church) was quite religiously impressive with statues, organ, stained glass, and domed roof. There is a small museum. The grave yard area was very interesting to visit. There is an example of an Ohlone Native American home. There is also a statue of Junipero Serra. To end the tour, I visited the gift shop. Staff is welcoming and very nice.

I visited San Francisco this summer, and not only was this building highly photogenic, it also serves a higher purpose of empowerment. I was pleased to be able to receive this message while also just touring the city and taking pictures: it made for a very memorable experience. Highly recommend the trip here as there is a lot of wonderful stuff to do in the Mission District.

Thankfully a friendly local pointed us in the right direction otherwise we would have missed it! Brilliant artwork in one street depicting history, freedom, struggles and the celebration of women. There are murals all over the mission District but this is the most concentrated. Worth the walk off the main streets.
