The hot springs overlooking the Rio Grande Brenda in the springs overlooking the river
DAY FIVE
This is really beautiful weather we are having. Every morning we get up FREEZING and then after we warm up La Casita, (means the little house), we are fine. I had forgotten about the difference in temperature in this part of the country. It gets so cold at night, and then the sun heats everything up and it is almost hot during the day. I’m not used to such a contrast.
I started my day yesterday with a hot cup of coffee that is served outside the office. While Brenda went for a walk, I relaxed. We went to a discount store, kind of a mini Walmart, and purchased a couple of large towels so we would have plenty to wrap up in after we came out of the springs. Then it was on to the water where we alternated between sun bathing and springs bathing in our own private pool.
I left Brenda to do that while I grabbed a bite of lunch and then went to my massage. I will have to say that it was the best I have ever had. I don’t know if it was the wonderful New Mexican atmosphere, or if I was just ready for it, or if the therapist was so good. Probably a combination of all three. But I felt great afterwards, so stress free and not a muscle was aching anywhere.
The rest of the day was spent reading and relaxing until dinner. We ate at another restaurant that was just so-so for me; Brenda enjoyed hers.
One thing I will have to add about New Mexico, especially T or C. The razor companies must not sell many supplies to the men here (or the women either for that matter), nor do the make-up people do very well. I’ve never seen so many lo-o-o-ng and unkempt gray beards (and hair, too). Some of the women have hair (lots of times gray) down to their waists. I think most of the 60’s hippies ended up in New Mexico.
It’s all very fascinating!
