Yesterday we went over to Riverside, about 40 minutes away to visit the botanical gardens at the UC Riverside. I was surprised that on a Wednesday they were closed especially because it's all outdoors so I figured it didn't have anything to do with Covid. Anyway, they are now only open a few days a month from what I can tell.
We then went over to the Mission Inn a really unique amazing looking place with mission style architecture and according to Wikipedia is World Famous. It is something to see for sure. I'll post photos later.
Afterwards we drove through some of the old neighborhoods and this particular house I really loved.
Me gusta la arquitectura de las casas que has fotografiado.
ReplyDeleteEspero que regreses de nuevo a ese lugar y en un día en que ya estén los jardines abiertos.
Besos
Straight out of a fairytale !
ReplyDeleteThat’s an adorable house and the garden looks gorgeous
ReplyDeleteWhat amazing homes! I love those "Old California" neighborhoods. Bet they were built back when Riverside was just a small town surrounded by farming, including citrus trees and probably some dairy cows. I'd love to go back in time and see it all 100 years ago!
ReplyDeleteI think I've mentioned my Mom lived in Riverside with my step-Dad until 2002, and I visited about every 6 months. We went to the Mission Inn but never drove around to see the older homes. Your photos of them are spectacular. I don't think we ever went to the botanical gardens. Weird that they aren't open all the time.
ReplyDeleteHi there...
ReplyDeleteLinda - The gardens are really nice - they are at the University and they use to be open as far as I know pretty much every day. I love the cacti gardens and the succulants the best. Mission Inn - outside ..by the mall area ... was almost vacant - hardly anybody around.
HFH - ... I love them also. At least near where I lived before the mountains...Redlands, Claremont, Upland, Riverside, Pomona, so many of these areas had the old home. I loved walking through the neighborhoods way back when.
CJ: Those old homes are my favorite - would rather look or live in them vs a mansion or modern achictecture.
Ashok - ..it does... a lot of them in this area do. I use to do front porch posts and I think I'll start posting them again .
Thank you Mirada...
I agree with you, what a wonderful house.
