Our past life here included numerous long distance runs up, down and around the
Arroyo Seco, which was our destination of choice for a sunny morning walk with Lusso, Ariel, Sylvie, Elliott R and Nick yesterday.

Although it was a national holiday, and therefore more heavily frequented by other people and dogs than usual on a Monday, the trail we took easily allowed for the heavy traffic -- it was wide, well-kept, and featured little side trails you could take to avoid collisions with large groups and leashless doggies.

The parking area near the casting pond, where we started our walk, has been expanded and also renovated in such a way that it blends with the environment: No concrete or asphalt! We walked both sides of the stream, which is all concrete, and admired the crumbling but beautiful street bridges above.
Elliott A told us some of the history of Busch Gardens while we walked past some of the old stone walls and walkways of the area that once featured a beautiful, rustic arboretum (and free beer). Ah. Those were the days....
