One of the treats of visiting Santa Fe is the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the luxury of the hot tubs at Ten Thousand Waves. Since we kept missing the natural hot springs as we traveled through the mountainous areas we decided to indulge ourselves.

And there was a delicious meal at Izanami on Friday and another at Blue Corn Cafe on Saturday!

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.
