More Stuff and Nonsense

Oh Baby It's Hot Outside!!!,

We got up this morning, of all reasons, because we could hear cows, and we weren't sure if they were in front of our cottage. So Michelle got up, and checked out the window. Turns out they weren't in front of our house, but behind us. It was quite an interesting way to wake up! Will had signed up for a zip-line tour last night, so he headed out this morning. Michelle and I got up much more leisurely. We took turns showering, and sat outside, enjoying the morning. The volcano was pretty clear, so we got good pictures of almost the whole volcano, including the caldera at the top. The guide yesterday said it was dormant until 1968, and then it erupted in a big way! It blew the top off the mountain, and then blew three more times, blowing out major craters each time.

We toddled up to breakfast, where they had an omelette bar. We were sitting, having a nice, quiet breakfast, when Will came over. He'd been the only one who should up for the zip-line tour, so it went much faster. He had a blast, but from his description, I have NO desire to do it! He was literally shaking with adrenelin, and wanted to DO something. Michelle and I had actually planned to spend the morning by the pool. Nope, we headed to town. We all remembered suntan lotion yesterday, but only Michelle remembered today. Will and I were both a little pink by the time we headed back to the hotel. Michelle and I headed up to the lobby to try and check email, while Will headed to the pool. No internet, but there was a lovely breeze, so we hung out there.

After checkout, we sat around the lobby until lunch, and then hopped on the bus for the ride home. Unfortunately, there was a family with three kids who got on too. There was a girl who looked like she was about 8 or 9; she mostly listened to her headphones really loud, and sang along. Irritating, but bearable. The two little boys, 3 and 5 most likely, weren't so polite. They yelled, they twitched, they yelled some more. It wasn't a restful ride back. We got back to our hotel about 5pm.

Overall, the trip was absolutely wonderful. Michelle thanked me this morning for finding this trip. We're all talking about wanting to come back. The website for the hot springs resort is: www.tabacon.com I'll post pictures when I get home.

Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!
