Aqueduct

We were going over to see...

The Aqueducts.

The Aqueducts.

This was right after...

I mean, I'm talking, it was probably... a month after uh the us and iran started started going at it and uh we pick up we get picked up in the uber and you know i'm a small tall kind of guy well the guy asked us he goes hey where are you guys from and for some reason everybody thought we were greek uh we were in three different countries and in all three we were labeled as greek So not really sure what was up with that.

Emergency crews are watching the flood-prone colonias near the rivers, but for me, the rain just adds atmosphere.

My base is in the Acueducto axis, just east of the historic center.

It is about a 15-minute walk from the Zopalo, but far enough away that you can sleep without hearing the street vendors set up their stalls at dawn.

I found a modest one-bedroom flat nearby.

And I've gone really far back, and one of the, like, crazy things that we kind of found is the Roman Empire realistically-

Aqueducts, yeah

... because of aqueducts and whatnot.

I mean, it's a form of a pipe.

a one and a half hour, or a two and a half hour trip.

Like the one-hour trip, we'd take them up to the Leinster Aqueduct.

That's where the canal crosses over the River Liffey.

A fantastic structure.

1783 it was built.

So you can imagine the work that went into it at that time to get this big five-arch stone bridge carrying the water over the water.

So we do a stop and we do a short history talk there at the Aqueduct on that trip.

The longer trip we do, The two and a half hour trip heads on past the aqueduct up through Digby Lock.
