aguas thermales y flojera

by Sharon Brooke

today today. so tired. so so soo tired. woke up earlier than i wanted to, but esta bien. late breakfast with my late night counterparts, then we went to the hot springs. it was cool, lots of potential, but crowded and kids were there which is like meh. it was pretty neat inside. how can i explain it. ummm so its like a forest. there are lakes and shit. and pools. its all spread out haphazardly. then there are these white half domes sticking out of the ground. very x-filesish. so you walk into them through a narrow corridor and down three or four steps (the second you walk in youre in ankle deep water), and thar she blows! when you walk down the water is about chest high. and its hot! and steamy! the first dome we went into was beautiful, it had holes in the ceiling and the sunlight was shining in and it was misty in there from the steam so you could see it all mixing together. then they had flowing water so you could stand under and get massaged. another one had a rounded glass tile ceiling. it reminded me of the castle ramsey and i went to in lebanon, and how it was in ruins, but this seems what it woulda been like back in the day. anyway none of us were able to stay there forevs, so we were like great, we did that, lets dip out. we laid in the sun for a bit which totally zapped the remainder of our energy, then we went for seafoody stuff close to our hotel. last thing on the agenda for today was a meeting with our teachers for our field work this week. well be working in groups of three or four, meeting with groups of about six. my team is naomi and aubrey, and were working with the life transition group. well see how it goes!! ellos no hablan ingles, y nuestra espanol es no bueno. we have a translator, but you know how the movie title goes. lost in translation. and im sad again im out of here in six days. i still need to SHOP but its probably best if i dont. im done, goodnight world.
