Mission San Xavier del Bac

This morning as Mark and I were leaving our RV park to go to church, a whole family of Native Americans walked in front of us.  When they passed and we were driving down San Xavier (pronounced Ha-vee-AIR) Rd., we kept passing small groups of people walking toward the mission.  The mission is about two miles away from where we live.
