Starting in the 1690's, Catholic missionaries - most notably the Jesuit priest Eusebio Kino - founded a number of missions in what is now southern Arizona. The beautiful San Xavier del Bac Mission near Tucson is generally recognized as the oldest intact church in the state. The "White Dove of the Desert" was founded in 1692. They hold daily mass and full services on the weekend.
 |
| The inside of the church has been restored to it's original state. |
Tubac an art community 45 miles south of Tucson and 25 miles north of the Mexican border.

Once you arrive, everything is within walking distance including galleries, restaurants, bars, furniture, kitchen gadgets, pottery, jewelry, wall hangings, sculptures and rugs, we spent the day and didn't get into all the stores and markets.
