We were all excited to be together. Marcos and Dylan were still not there, but we were ready for today's activities.... hot springs and food :)
Ham and Cheese Sandwich, Fresh Squeezed OJ and a Cheese Arepa... SO GOOD!
Everything in Colombia is little. The cars are all small and the tires tiny. Tomi and Chuma don't need a big car, unless Tomi's family comes to visit. It was quite the sight to see us all piles in that car. Tomi and I took turns holding our mom and tia on our laps for the 1.5hr ride to Los Volcanes...
The whole bunch of us. This might be my favorite pic of the entire trip. REALLY good times!
Colombia is more beaitful than I had pictured. It is so great and lush. The people were beyond kind and hospitable. Absolutely beautiful country!
The girls...
Esteban looked like a tourist, more so than I did. Tomi said it was because he wore tennis shoes... jajaja. I am sure that the fact that he was one of the tallest persons around had nothing to do with it. ;)
We finally arrived at Los Volcanes. Its a beautiful "resort" where they have three natural hot spring pools and a huge natural steam room. The water is filled with natural minerals and nutrients for your body.
When we got there we had to walk down about 2.5 blocks down into the 'resort'. It was a really nice walk down. Plus we were eager to have some relaxation.
These pool are not warm, they are HOT! They are awesome!
We were surrounded by lush green foliage and the air temp was just right, like a crisp fall morning, all day :) perfection!
This picture was taken from a little waterfall up from the resort. It is a small 'resort'. But it left us felling fully relaxed and hungry....
After Los Volcanes, we went to a little city calle Sopo. There we stopped in a store called Alpina. They make all sorts of dairy products and some pretty delicious pastries and treats... Tia Maggie had her cart FULL!
This is maybe 1/3 of the goodies we bought and ate there. Seriously, so delish!
We ate our goodies outside surrounded by more beautiful scenery. Seriously, I was in awe of the beauty in this country! We had some mate while with our goodies.
Our day ended there. We were successfully stuffed and relaxed!
On a side note: They have milk that comes in bags there. Its called "leche larga vida" You can leave the unopened bag in your cupboard and its good until 12/23/12! CRAZINESS! I had to take a pic :)
