Sol Y Sombras

For a few times I had dined at the restaurant Mission 261 for dim sum, I had the pleasure of walking around the Historic Mission District at San Gabriel.
As I toured the grounds of landmark church and around the streets in the old Mission Drive, I noticed a cool little shop around the corner of Santa Anita St.
It seemed to attract a lot of visitors to this part of San Gabriel where they displayed some of the cool imported items from Mexico at this very charming gift shops.
There is a lot of arts and crafts all over the place you can take back for mementos. Majority of the trinkets of jewelery or souvenirs reflect the Historic Mexican Mission.
This place feel more part of the Mission district than some hokey little gift shops you could have seen in most place. It’s worth noting that they do sell paintings from other artists that you can take a look at. This is a relaxing place to window shop at least and had much more to offer…
