Notes Actions
Today we followed a couple of recommendations from our acquaintance, Robert.

We started the day with breakfast at Küni, which was muy rico.

Then we headed down to Santa Rosa de Viterbo (which is decorated with an over-the-top amount of… not gold), and the cultural center next to it. Robert had told us that the archaeological bits in the cultural center were the original end of the aqueduct, but while we were there, we learned that’s not correct. It’s actually a water system that was fed from the rio PRIOR to the construction of the aqueduct. It is called Acequia Madre and it’s really cool (even if it’s not what we thought it was).
Tonight we took it easy and walked over to Plaza de Los Fundadores (near our AirBnB). We had a little bit of sushi and watched the people go by. Then we walked back with a quick stop to see the interior of Templo La Cruz for the very first time even though we’ve seen it from the outside zillions of times. It’s kind of ordinary for a Catholic Church but it has a souvenir store in it and a lovely courtyard. Unfortunately by the time we were done looking at the courtyard the souvenir store was closed. Oops.
