Another day last week we
took the bus to the town of Coñaripe and caught a ride up to Termas
Geométricas. These hot springs are
located way up in the hills in a fern and moss-lined canyon. There are not really words to describe
how amazing they are. We started
out by walking a long, winding, red-painted gangplank to the huge waterfall
(where you could actually swim but it was freezing!) and worked our way back to
the start. The river ran under the
gangplank all the way through and on each side of the walkway were more pools
than we could count, all lined in slate tiles and wrapped with detailed, red
fencing. The pools ranged in
temperature and they all were beautiful zen spaces, so much that we could
barely get ourselves to leave and try the next one.
In order to not
get too caught up in all the mindfulness and relaxing, Cal and Harper splashed
and swam like fish. Cal had a
break-through day in the water and swam under most of the time. He is an
official swimmer now! (So much
that he repeatedly tried to go in over his head and I had to rescue him (and
ream him out a couple times.))
Harper did handstand after handstand, and it
was definitely one of those days where I couldn’t stop thinking about how much
she seems like such a grown-up kid lately.
