The Saunas At Los Vahos
Last Thursday we took a trek up a gargantuan hill to the natural saunas of Los Vahos. I didn’t realize that we would be walking for an hour uphill but oh well, I made it.
On the way we stopped at an old abandoned mansion with one of the most beautiful views of the city that I have seen to date. There were farm workers around the mansion harvesting their corn to grind into meal, tortillas, etc.

We made it to the saunas where we paid 20Q ($3) for an hour in the saunas. And these saunas were muy caliente (very hot). I had to walk in and out of them about 8 times because after a while it was difficult to breath in the hot air. But my skin was muy suave afterwards.

On the way back down from the saunas there was a small group of kids yelling at us to take their picture. I got my favorite photo of the trip so far and it only cost me 50 centavos per kid.

Still sounds like you are having a great time and staying out of trouble. Love the picture of the kids. How much weight have you lost? By the head shot, it looks like you are slimming down.

Kirk,
More than likely I have lost weight but I have no idea how much. I eat a lot but I’m always walking so a big part of my day is exercise. If I knew where any scales were here I’d hop on one.
