Cathedrals, Cocinas, and Caves

Last week while my mom and dad were here, we drove to the San Xavier Indian Reservation to see the San Xavier Mission, a beautiful Catholic church...






Then, we drove to Nogales, Mexico for lunch and shopping. The restaurant we ate at was built into a cave...here's a picture from the outside.


On their last day here, we drove to Kartchner Caverns. These amazing caves which are still active were just recently opened to the public in 1999. On the outside they look like two grassy (desert grass=weeds and cacti), but on the inside, they are hollow caves filled with stalactites and staligmites over 50 feet tall!
