We hopped over to Riverside to have lunch at the Mission Inn, a hotel dating back to 1876. It is known for it's 4 million (!) Christmas lights, making it the centrepiece of the Riverside annual Festival of Lights.
Of course the lights weren't lit at lunch time, and the Christmas decorations detract a little from the interesting architectural mix. The original owner travelled to Europe many times, each time bringing back not only treasures to decorate the Inn, but also bringing back a few architectural ideas that he built into each expansion.
