From Mission San José (in Fremont), it was a short ride (through
San Jose) to Mission Santa Clara de Asís.
Santa Clara is probably the least mission-ish mission of all the
missions. It's not in its original location, and
pretty much all that's left of it is this one room, which,
frankly, feels mission-ish only when compared to, say, a
late-model Arby's drive-thru. Sure, there's a historical
plaque, but, heck, there's a historical plaque in San Francisco
showing where Carol Doda invented the topless bar.
And, no, the plaque in San Francisco is not in Braille.
