Mission del San Xavier del Bac, and finding old friends

The tail is off screen to the right. We are not amused.

The Mission del San Xavier del Bac

We looked carefully for the ghost. He was not amused.

This mission served, and still serves, the Tohono O'odham nation, and is on their land.
I dig churches. 










Bac (say "bock") is the non-native name for the village of Wa:k.  

Hugh and I were just alike, only different. We were younger than our classmates (ten), both smart, both weird. He was sassy and irreverent, and saw things the way they most likely were. I saw them the way I was told to see them.
We both went somewhere else after that year. I found him last month on Facebook, and he is so funny and fabulous that I am mourning the years we weren't friends. He would have been an excellent influence on me. I would have a fashion sense.
