The springs are beautiful - shaded by trees and filled with fish. They run down the mountain creating small waterfalls and natural jacuzzi-like pools. The deeper pools are nice and cool and the shallower pools are quickly warmed by the sun. We had a blast swimming and splashing and getting some sun. Mostly it was Larissa, Nick and I fooling around in the water, but even mom and dad got in on the fun.
It was a great day - but a long one in the sun, so by the time 5 pm rolled around we were exhausted and hungry. We piled back into the car and headed to get some tacos (al pastor y de suadero) and agua de jamaica. Once we ate we were pretty much ready to call it a day - so now we are home relaxing and making plans for tomorrow.
rather than post a comment on each individual moment of seemingly awesomeness, i figured i'd just do one...that being said, wow. the pictures are incredible; i can usually only pick out "cheese" or "meat" with my spanish skills, but the food sounds delicious. sulfur springs? mountain top vistas? ancient pyramids? homey little mexican villages? incredible. i hope you're having a great time with your family. please wish larissa a happy birthday from all the burgans. can't wait to see you!! (mostly because i haven't had a spring roll in weeks)
ReplyDeletemexico is just so awesome! we should all do this again sometime-exact same itinerary
ReplyDeletethis reminds me a bit of our trip out west. though, the post would have received bonus points had it included photos of you 'fooling around in the water.'
ReplyDeletethat was a very funny day!
