 Rancho Capistrano - Welcome Back

Directions:
Follow Day 655: Eagles Soccer at Rancho Capistrano.  We were here last September for a tournament, one of Alyssa's final tournaments before going back into surgery.  Other than a scar, Alyssa is playing at full confidence and back to help lead her new team to victory.

Quick Rewind for Friday, Irvine Spectrum.  Awesome outdoor mall with a Ferris Wheel and a Carousel.  Sorry, no pictures.  We walked from our hotel in Irvine.  Very nice area...

**Just a thought, all of these hikes and soccer tournaments in random locations have really opened my range to Southern California.  Growing up in Cleveland, everything out here used to be foreign to me.  Watching the news was like, that was where?  I bring this up because I recently saw Saddleback Church on the news.  Well, it wasn't good news, so I'm not going to share it, but at least from watching it, I knew where it was.  And here it is, just another hike --  Oh Yeah, The Eagles won their first game 2-0...
