sights of Tucson

This is the backyard at the MVS house. Maggie planted a garden and the plants were just beginning to come up.

This is inside the church at San Xavier Mission. It was built in the late 1700's.

This is the outside of San Xavier Mission. It stands out in the middle of the desert.
There are some people that live in the area, mostly several different Indian tribes, but no other large buildings. The left side is the same as the right side, but it is under restoration. You can just see a little of it in this picture.

You can see a town in the distance as we were coming out of Miller Canyon and the mountains.
There is a lot of hiking in this area and one of the best birding areas.
This is just beside the border of Mexico.

These saguaro cacti are common in the Tucson area. When you get into the mountain areas, you see more deciduous trees.
