On our last day, I wanted at least another hour at the Mission but it didn’t open until 9am so we visited Santa Cruz Chili and Spice Company first which was within sight of the Mission and opened at 8am. I had heard about this place but had no idea it was an actual processing plant. I’ve purchased their products so it was really fun to see where they were made. Click on the following photo for my movie. (approx 8MB)

Back to Tumacacori Mission at 9am. I took a few color images but mostly shot with my infrared camera and a Lensbaby. Can’t wait to go back when I have more time!



We were lucky to be at the Mission on a day when one of their cultural demonstrations was going on so before we left, we took time to enjoy some delicious tortillas, beans and cheese.
