Santiago

Hot Springs here we come!!  It might seem a little strange to go to a hot springs when it's pretty warm outside but I was excited to go!

Our friends Eric and Hillary invited us to go with them - they had been before and since it's out in the middle of nowhere on a bumpy dirt road, we knew that would be the best way!

First though, a stop in the town of Santiago as Hillary thought there was a museum there - at least Trip Advisor said there was..............but no luck..............there was a beautiful church though so we stopped in to check it out!


Lunch was next on the agenda!  Glenn discovered he didn't like the "mole" sauce on his enchilada so he won't be ordering that again!  I had an enchilada chicken cheese casserole and it was very good



And then it was off to the hot springs on this dusty, winding road - there was a tiny village we went through that had a nice church but not much else.  And after about 1/2 hour drive we arrived and there was an old man sitting under a tree with a small table.  We each paid 50 pesos to go in and had to sign our name, age and address!

Then we walked down a rocky rather steep trail and arrived at the springs!  It was a HOT day so I'm sure on a cooler day the water would have felt better but we got in and enjoyed the warmth for a while!  It was all completely natural!


Back behind Glenn you can crawl over some rocks and there is a cool pool there.


And Hillary is standing in another cool pool that we crawled in before we left to cool off!  What a unique place!!
