Canada's 1st National Park
Saturday, July 7-8, 2018
Banff
It all started with a hole in the ground. Three prospectors in the 1800's worried if they should attempt to explore that dark, smelly hole. What a boon they found! Hot water! Enter the railroad which saw $$$ if it chose this place as stop-over for the newly planned Canadian transcontinental railroad where it would place a hotel and offer hot springs' baths to its travelers. Endangered snails found only in Banff find their homes in these sulfuric hot springs, but tropical fish (mollies) deposited here by a gentleman who tired of his aquarium thrive throughout the frigid winters and can be seen in the flats.
Meow Wolf House of Eternal Return
Meow Wolf
Santa Fe, NM

A week ago today we spent an exhilarating morning at Meow Wolf's House of Eternal Return. We met Bonnie's college roommate the day prior, and spent an afternoon with her at the Georgia O'Keefe Museum. Both museums represent creators who were "out of the box" for their time; both reinforced the notion that it is ok to be wild once in awhile and to follow your heart.
When we arrived at opening at Meow Wolf there was a line; when we left, the line was twice as long. Moral of the story: if you plan to go, get there at opening.
The best part of the weekend was spent being with Bonnie's former college roommate, Lynn.
