Today, I went with some friends, Julia and Kate, to Fuentes Georginas...hot springs! It was one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. The drive there was breathtaking as well, with wonderful views of Santa Maria in the clouds. Here are some photos and a video:

This video is from our bus of a spectucular view of Santa Maria. It's not the clearest, and it's tough to hear the commentary, but it gives a taste of what it was like. We were all in love with the view....
