Enjoyed the opportunity to join the crowd at Las Chivas, the coffee shop in Eldorado for conversation at the center of the universe. In the afternoon we went in to Santa Fe and had a wonderful meal at Mucho Gusto on Paseo de Peralta, stopped at the yarn shop, browsed a bookstore, warmed ourselves with hot chocolate, and indulged in a soak in the Kubuta hot tub at Ten Thousand Waves Japanese Spa.

The two of us have long been fascinated with the history of canals and their role in the history of transportation, industrialization, and more recently recreation.
