THIS is what your skin looks like after 10 hours in a natural hot spring. Well, not 10 hours straight, but, I spent all day last Saturday in the hot springs at Fuentes Georginas hot springs above the small farm village of Zunil. Fuentes Georginas has a great website for more photos and it's history if you're interested. http://www.lasfuentesgeorginas.com/history.htm
Of course, it was beautiful and relaxing...we stayed one night and it was cozy in our bungalow with a fireplace even! Too bad the matches were completely wet from all the humidity. Luckily a friend had a lighter and we were able to stay warm. VERY chilly in those mountains!

What I really enjoyed seeing was all the Guatemalans also enjoying the natural wonders of their country. (as is the case I'm finding everywhere in Guatemala). Sometimes we take for granted the beauty that surrounds us in San Diego or elsewhere in the states (well I know I do...I can go a whole year without visiting Wind and Sea...¡Que lastima!), but here, the people really enjoy their country and all it has to offer.

The fotos after the hot springs are of the farm village, Zunil. It was awesome watching them sell the vegetables and fruits. The trucks just kept coming and dropping off their goods, one right after another. And talk about fast...Guatemalans can unload a truckload faster than you can say lickitysplit! Enjoy!

The best jaccuzi ever!!!These are the lower hot springs, not as hot as the larger pool.

There were times the fog/clouds would come in so think you couldn't see across the water!Friends at Fuentes Georginas. (from left, Jodi, Andrea, Amber, Jaime)
This is the farming village of Almolonga on our way from Quetzaltenango (Xela) to Zunil. Unbelievably beautiful!
Church in Zunil.Ever wonder where all your clothes go that you donate??? To the 'Old Navy' Store in Zunil, Guatemala, of course!!!
The things these women carry on their heads is amazing. (not much here, but others...¡Puchica!)
Largest raddishes I've ever seen...some the size of small apples!
And babies slung on their backs. Convenient!


This is the carniceria inside the outdoor market...makes you consider becoming a vegetarian.

Okay...here's a little game for you...'FIND THE GRINGO'. Just like Where's Waldo...see if you can spot the gringo...it gets easier with each photo! ¡Buena Suerte!
