Hot Springs and More!

The Escapees Hangout in San Felipe has been a lot of fun! I made a lot of new friends. One day, we had a brunch pot luck.

What can be better than this - eating brunch on the beach!

That night, Rosemary, Pat & I went to town for dinner. We even made another new friend!

The next day, we went with several of the group to the Puertecitos Hot Springs, about 50 miles south of San Felipe. On the way, we passed Cowpatty, a rather famous small restaurant. Unfortunately, it was closed that day.

Arriving at the hot springs, we were greeted by this nice statue.

The hot water from the hot springs flows down towards the sea, mixing with the cold sea water to get the perfect temperature.

As the tide goes out, you move down to a lower pool. The upper pools are then too hot. When we got there, there was only one that was the perfect temperature, and it was a little crowded.

But later, we moved down to a larger pool.

Aaaaahhh, perfect!

This big bird is a statue, but he has attracted several real friends.

There were also lots of pelicans nearby. Beautiful!

That evening we had a "Guacamole Throwdown," a fundraiser where we got to sample everyone's guacamole, and vote for our favorite.

I'm really loving it here!
