Soon after we started the hour and a half drive north to Ojos Calientes host springs. The drive was great.. The Hot Springs were\u00a0 indescribably (but I’ll try anyway. as cameras were not allowed in).. The springs were surrounded by a low key resort.. all adobe with a hotel , restaurant and spa. The pools themselves have been here for centuries. Its was an organized spa since the early 1900’s .. and some of the original foundations are still\u00a0 around. The pools are of various temperatures.\/ all pretty warm.. but not too hot. Each pool (supposedly) has different mineral content, eg iron. arsenic, lithium, sodium each with different curative powers.\u00a0 Its not clear how they got the water in each to have different minerals :-).. Each pool was surrounded by places to sit and sun.. Since The air was quite cool.. the place wasn’t busy . We spent more than 3 hours checking out all the pools, the steam room and the Sauna.. We loved the steam room best !\u00a0 There was also a mud bath where you could cover yourself with mud and dry in the sun.\u00a0 \u00a0not warm enough to dry completely.. but fun.. Max got himself completely covered.. i got mostly covered..\u00a0 \u00a0Later on (see below) they closed the mud bath for cleaning.. how funny is that ?!

One of the great things was there was a rule to keep voices down to a whisper… so it was very peaceful and quiet

Bliss !

When it was tiem to leave we went in and changed and came out.. then I had my phoen nand had a chance to do a little photographing.. and got to plave a SamStone in the contemplative labyrinth they had…
