Carmel


Mission San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo, located in the tony village of
Carmel, California.  "San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo" translates roughly as
"Valet Parking at Tennis Club."   

Carmel was the favorite mission of Father Junipero Serra, the founder of the
California missions, and he is buried here.  Rumors that he is buried in a
Mercedes Benz 190 are probably not true.
