We're finally getting to go to the famous Mission San Xavier del Bac just south of Tucson.

When we put up this photo as a Facebook post, we received two pertinent comments. Thomas Olsen said, "Check out the fresco restoration story....the Vatican sent artists. Que linda." And Case Griffing said, "John, before I came out to Arizona, I worked at a series of four Spanish colonial missions in San Antonio, Texas. Seeing San Xavier del Bac was a true pleasure! By the way, if someone tries to tell you they left the tower unfinished to avoid taxes from the Crown, don't believe them."
