The hot springs were fantastic! Each person or couple has their own private bathing room, with the choice of a bathtub or a jacuzzi. However, Greg's limited Spanish led him to believe that we would all go in one room together and not everyone had suits. His cheeks were quite red with the idea! We chose a double jacuzzi for the two of us. So relaxing! Our room is closest to the window in the picture below. The waters are supposed to have healing powers and the baths are quite old, dating to the conquest.
On our way back, we stopped to have a "tesito" with tea, sandwiches, and sweets from Eliana's family's bakery. The beautiful mountains are in the background. They seem to come out of nowhere sometimes and although you can't tell from this picture, are much bigger than the Rocky's. Breathtaking!
Everyone enjoyed our tesito. Eliana's grandmother is even licking her fingers!!
Oh, and our ice cream flavours of the day were:
- Banana Split (banana ice cream with chocolate flecks)
- Cherry
- Swiss Chocolate (with lots of almonds! maybe from the almond trees we saw today?)
- Coconut (One of our favourites yet!)
Until tomorrow...

PS We think we'll normally write about once a week, but we're just so excited right now, and still have lots of time, and cold, cold, cold outside to keep us in by the computer.
