2006-03-28 San Xavier Mission, AZ 16.JPG
We went to the San Xavier Mission just south of Tucson on the San Xavier Indian Reservation. This was built a the end of the 1700's and it still holding mass regularly. The "Titoi- The Man in the Maze" is a symbol in the Tohono O'odham tribe. "It's the story of every human being, traveling though life as though a maze, taking in many turns while growing stronger and wiser as death, the dark center of the maze, comes closer." The Mission is under restoration and really beautiful. The other missions, Tubac and Tumacacori are much further south and there are few roads going west towards our next destination. We didn't see the others, but if we're in the area again, we'll try to see them.
