Saturday, April 2, 2011:
Today, we went to a place called Papallacta. It's pretty close to where we live -- only about an hour. We were only there for a day, but it was what I was waiting for. Even though it was drizzly and overcast for most of the day, almost nothing can spoil an afternoon sitting in natural volcanically heated water.
Before we did this, Laura, Meredith and I all took a horse ride and the horses were very agitated the entire time. So much so, that Laura and Meredith who have been riding horses their entire life, insisted that it end early because they didn't know how the horses where going to react. I didn't want to get bucked, so I didn't argue.
There's not much to say about the day except it was extremely relaxing. We met an older couple from the states who live close to Naperville, and some Indian guy who claimed to teach a whole bunch of languages. Although, his English was more broken than Michael Jackson's nose after his 50th surgery... exactly, non-existent.
Anyway, it fulfilled my hot spring urge that I had since the beginning of the trip going to Baños (and I realized Baños was not hot springs at all -- just a bunch of pools filled with dirty people -- nice place otherwise though).
Off the the Amazon next!
Ciao,
Michael
