After a long day bicycling, visiting, and getting lost, we had a more relaxing day today, walking to the Plaza early and checking out shops to visit later. After a walk around the Basilica grounds, and our morning coffee, we walked part way up Canyon Road, always fascinated by the kinetic wind sculptures near the Tibetan shop. But, many of the shops were either not open or just opening for the day, so we headed back, stopping at coffee shop and travel literature bookstore and at weaving studio in one of the courtyards.

Later in the afternoon, after school, we drove out to our granddaughters house. Before dinner, we broke out a set of 8-sided kumihimo braiding disks we had made from craft foam after lunch, and taught the great-grandkids how to make a simple 7-strand cord, after which they taught their parents. Our grandson-in-law, a teacher, thought it would be good to have his students learn, to keep them occupied before class. We showed the older ones how to make bracelets by braiding a loop with seven threads, then folding and braiding doubled, 14 into 7 pairs, to make the cord, with a knot at the end to form a button. It was fun for all, as even the toddlers tried.
