We moved to a new location today, but since it was only about 50 miles away we started at the civilized hour of 8:00 am.


Norm took the opportunity to test what we have learned about the directions/log he is using by having us take the lead. I am pleased to say that Nina's navigation and my driving passed the test and we arrived at the intended destination with no wrong turns.

The place we are at is another water park. This one up in the hills at an altitude of 1100 feet. It's a series of pools fed by natural springs from the hill side. In all there are maybe 6 to 8 pools that are fed by the spring. Every few weeks they drain one of the pools clean it and refill it. There is no chlorination equipment.

It's really quite a nice place. The altitude has reduced the humidity and the water makes it very comfortable. One of the real treats of this place are the fish that inhabit the pools. They are small, ranging around 1 to 2 inches long. If one stands still in the pool for more than a couple of minutes they come up and start nibbling on your arms and legs. Apparently they are eating the dead skin on your body. It tickles but does not hurt. We spent a couple of hours this morning and again this afternoon being groomed by these little servants.
