Rest
day today but we did engage in a novel activity before breakfast this
morning. We went to the Escondida hot springs about 10klms away. It
was tucked away up a poorly maintained dirt road but once there, we
found a very pleasant complex incorporating hot spring pools fully
enclosed in concrete and brick shells. Entering the pools was like
entering an underground bunker but, once in, the springs themselves
were extremely pleasant.
We
had a delightful afternoon having a family lunch at the home of
Mario's sister Yoni and her husband Willy in Celaya, a town about 45
minutes drive from San Miguel. Apart fromYoni and Willy, we also met
two of their daughters Margarita and Cristy (who owns the house we
are staying in) and several of their daughters. Lovely people.
We
have not encountered any difficulties but security is taken very
seriously. The home we are staying in is within a walled complex with
full time manned security at the gate. Yoni and Willy's home is
located in suburban Celaya but it and the houses for several blocks
around it are similarly within a fenced area with a manned gate to
get access. One can only assume that, without those precautions,
security would be a problem.
These photos are of Cristy's house in the San Miguel complex. As
you can see, we are being very comfortably accommodated.
