Tumacacori

I don’t know why we had never visited this beautiful old mission (founded 1691) before our Tucson trip a few weeks ago. I’d seen photos, but perhaps I didn’t realize how close it was to Tucson, Tubac etc. Even on that blazing hot day, it was well worth the visit and gives you such a sense of how Arizona is connected to Mexico, with its shared history of indigenous people and Spanish colonization.
