Carmel Mission
If you're in a California public school, you know that fourth grade is Mission Time.
A new project about the Carmel Mission, thought by many to be the crown jewel of the mission system, hopes to make a critical portion of California history more accessible to 21st-century students and their families, and to travelers in general.
Carmel recently became the first of California's 21 missions to create a podcast. Podcasts are videos or radio-like files that can be downloaded from the Internet for playback on MP3 players. (Apple's iPod is an example of an MP3 player.)
Carmel's video podcast is available for free on the city's travel Website (carmelcalifornia.com). It contains vintage photos and a colorful narrative tracing the Carmel Mission's 236-year history.
For 30 years, I've said that if I could just touch my forehead to my students' and pass on information about the missions, that's what I'd do, says Susan Weinberg, a fourth-grade teacher in Oakland. This technology, to me, is the closest thing to that. Plus, students who are confused can reverse and hear it again, and it makes learning easier for those kids who are auditory learners.
MP3 technology is steadily making its way into education's hallowed halls. Two years ago, Duke University made history when it gave an iPod to each of its incoming freshmen. Nearly 100 colleges have followed suit, and today iPods have become a curricular norm in some school districts at as low as the elementary grades.
I think (the Carmel podcast) is a brilliant idea, says Daniel Krieger, a history professor at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, who is also president of the California Missions Studies Association. It takes a complex, antique concept and makes it contemporary and easy to understand. Anything that makes (the missions) more relevant is welcome, particularly if it introduces a young audience to the profound beauty of the Carmel Mission.
The mission podcast takes viewers back some 240 years to a time when Carmel was a vital religious center rather than a world-famous tourist destination. Founded in 1771, Carmel became headquarters for California's 21 missions, and was home to their founder, Father Junipero Serra. At one point, the mission was like a small, self-sufficient city unto itself, with several thousand people living on the premises.
Sitting just a half-mile from the beach and steps from Clint Eastwood's famous Mission Ranch, the Carmel Mission still functions as a thriving parish and school. It contains what is thought to be California's first library, as well as the famous Serra monument and a statue that was on the altar when the mission first opened its doors. In all, there are fives museums on the mission's grounds.
One Carmel hotelier says she's ready should iPod-savvy families suddenly become more engaged with the mission by way of the podcast.
It's not unusual for entire families to stay with us while they research their fourth-grade project, says Carrie Theis, owner of Hofsas House near Ocean Ave. It's incredible how the parents and siblings get involved. Hopefully, being the first to have a podcast will excite kids and their parents about Carmel and make them want to come here.
The priests who populated the mission two centuries ago lived famously spartan lives, sleeping in small cells furnished with nothing but a cot, a desk and a candle. While they probably would have thought an MP3 player an extravagance, Carmel's marketing guru says the new podcast will be welcome news to the 100 million-strong iPod nation that is revolutionizing the way learning and travel are done in the 21st century.
The iPod is becoming a cultural norm, much like the Walkman once was, says Jeff Burghardt, whose Anda-Burghardt Advertising created the Carmel podcast. It's not at all uncommon to see someone walking through a tourist destination with their earbuds in, listening to audio tours or regional music, or looking at downloaded maps.
The mission's podcast builds a bridge to visitors in a way that's consistent with how folks are getting their information these days.
The Carmel Mission podcast can be downloaded by visiting carmelcalifornia.com. A printable outline of the video script with associated pictures is also available here.
Carmel lies 51 miles south of San Jose, and 120 miles south of San Francisco. From State Highway 1, exit at either Carpenter Street or Ocean Avenue and head west. All-day parking lots are located at Mission Street and 8th Avenue or beneath Carmel Plaza at Mission and 7th Avenue. Travelers can pick up maps and other helpful guides at the Carmel Visitors Center (San Carlos St. between 5th and 6th avenues; 831/624-2522).

Mission Del Rio Carmelo (USA) Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Mission del Rio Carmelo in USA.
The stone-built church of the Mission San Carlos Borroméo De Carmelo rises above the southern district of the picturesque and romantic coastal town of Carmel in the United States.The Carmel Mission was founded in 1771 when Father Juniperro Serra, from Mallorca in Spain, was responsible for the building of the first missionary stations in the United States. The Mission possesses one of the most important and beautiful collections of religious works of art in California. Today only a few of the former twenty-one missions are in good condition. They were all once located alongside California’s six hundred kilometre King's Road and over the years Carmel’s unique climate has transformed the Mission’s gardens into an exotic paradise that contributes to the idyllic character of this religious complex. Right up to the present day the Carmel Mission has managed to retain several pages of American history that would otherwise have been lost forever.

RV'ing to the Holman Ranch in Carmel CA
The story of Holman Ranch is truly unique; a special story about a wonderful place that began when California was still part of Mexico.
Under the Crown of Spain, the ranch was part of the lands bestowed to the Mission San Carlos Borromeo del Rio Carmelo. When the Mexican government secularized the mission lands, one of the first ranchers in Carmel Valley, Don Jose Manuel Boronda, was granted the Los Laureles Rancho—6,625 acres that included what is now Holman Ranch. Their ranch passed through many hands until the Pacific Improvements Company acquired it in 1882.
In 1928, a San Francisco businessman, Gordon Armsby, was attracted to the rich farmland and leisurely pace of Carmel Valley, and purchased 600 acres in the Los Laureles area of the Valley, including what would be Holman Ranch.
Armsby hired Clarence Tantau (of Del Monte Hotel fame) to design the home that would reside on his new property. Tantau and Armsby chose a classic Spanish-style hacienda, which proffered impressive stone walls—all built from local Carmel stone. They installed handmade Mexican terracotta roofing and hand-carved oak-beamed ceilings. Nestled in a stand of mature oaks, nicknamed Casa Escondida, or Hidden House, the estate served as an exclusive hideaway for many Hollywood celebrities including Charlie Chaplin and Theda Bara.
Today tucked away in the rolling hills of Carmel Valley, historic Holman Ranch's charming gardens, stunning mountain views and serenity affords old-world charm while providing modern day conveniences. This impressive property includes a fully restored stone hacienda, overnight guest rooms, vineyards, olive grove, horse stables and more.
Located at the northeastern tip of the Carmel Valley Appellation, the family-owned Holman Ranch resides approximately 12 miles inland from the Pacific Coast. Here estate-grown wine varietals are planted on approximately 19 acres of undulating terrain. The wines produced are unfined and crafted to deliver the true varietal of the grape from harvest to bottle. The climate and terroir of the appellation has played a critical part in the success of the wines. The warmth of the inland valley coupled with the cooling marine layer has established itself as an ideal microclimate for the production of Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. Burgundy Clones have thrived from the perfect blend of ideal climate, southern exposure and thin rocky soils.
The estate wines of Holman Ranch include: Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Rosé of Pinot Noir.
Be sure to check out the tasting room, to sip and savor the different complexities of wines from the full-bodied Pinot Noirs to the light, fruity flavors of our Pinot Gris and classic tones of our Sauvignon Blanc.
Carefully hand-harvested, cold pressed and bottled, the Extra Virgin Olive Oil produced from the fruits of their trees has a delightfully distinctive flavor. Holman Ranch features its own distinctive olive grove located on a south facing hill of the vineyard. The grove is comprised of 100 trees with multiple cultivars planted. These cultivars consist of 25 Frantoio, 25 Leccino, 10 Mission, 25 Coratina, 5 Pendolino, and 10 Picholine, all of which were originally planted in 1994 in a Carmel Valley orchard then replanted at Holman Ranch in 2007.
These mature olive trees are planted in shale for the best production and harvesting results possible. Fruit is harvested by hand in December, which is then milled, producing a superb, high quality product. Although the Olive Grove is not certified organic, they do employ organic practices when farming our trees. Their mill, however, is certified organic. An interesting fact is that olive trees are alternate bearing, which means that one year they may produce 650, 375ml bottles bottles worth of oil, while next year they may produce only 50, 375ml bottles.

Carmel Mission Foundation - Mission Restoration
The Carmel Mission Foundation, Inc. is an independent non-profit organization formed to fund the restoration and preservation of the historic properties, art, and artifacts of the Carmel Mission. Deterioration due to age, structural integrity, and infrastructure needs to be addressed on the various historic buildings in the Mission's complex. This is a multi-year/multi-million dollar project.
The Carmel Mission (Mission San Carlos Borroméo del Rio Carmelo) was established in 1771 by Junípero Serra, and is both a State and National Historic Landmark. It was the headquarters for the California mission system, consisting of 21 missions, and the foundation for the State of California. Under Junípero Serra's leadership, the missions introduced industries, trades and services; agriculture, including viticulture and livestock; international trade; and the gift of literacy.
In June of 2013, Phase I, of the Carmel Mission complex restoration was completed. This consisted of the $5.5 million restoration of the 220-year-old Basilica, which included the seismic strengthening of its walls and roof; exterior repairs to the walls, buttresses, towers, and dome; new electrical and fire suppression systems; new interior lighting; heating system upgrade; and a new restroom building.
