Americans focus their history on the 13 colonies on the East Coast and overlook the Spanish settlement of New Mexico, Arizona, Texas and California.<BR/><BR/>The California missions are very famous and are big tourist and cultural attractions. Your photo helps show that there are missions worth seeing in Arizona, also. <BR/><BR/>Father Kino was to Arizona the equivalent of Father Junipero Serra in California, except the conditions to establish missions in Arizona were much harsher than along the California coast.Dave-CostaRicaDailyPhoto.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02567583999945259422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8123921266409714516.post-73153556850117509772009-03-15T07:38:00.000-07:002009-03-15T07:38:00.000-07:00I have always liked this mission.
