onto colorado

We had two favorite breakfast spots in SFe… one, Tecolote Café, has closed. But Cafe Pasqual’s is still a local landmark, and where we started the day. Then onto the contemporary art space, SITE Santa Fe. Their big exhibition was the work of Pedro Reyes, a social practice artist and sculptor. (https://sitesantafe.org/exhibition/pedro-reyes/) We found his work on reducing gun violence particularly effective. The shovels, below, were made from guns turned in by their owners, melted down, and refashioned as shovels for schools and community groups interested in planting trees. He also turns guns into musical instruments (which can be played) and music boxes. We liked his more conventional sculptures too. The second exhibit was about water in the west, which was particularly interesting after our time near the Rio Grande. (https://sitesantafe.org/exhibition/going-with-the-flow/

Then north to Colorado. Laura was surprised to see snow on the mountains. (Ed was not.) imagine how surprised she would have been yesterday when Salida got 6” of snow (which is now gone).

​Amazon produced a new fleece sweater. We hope Target in Boulder still has long sleeved T shirts tomorrow.
