San Miguel

We went to the Hot Springs on Thursday, March 26th. for the afternoon.
The area had been somewhat beautified since our friends had been there
last year. Cement sidewalks and the men´s bathroom had been redone. The
bathroom was very nice, indeed.

The surrounds of San Migul are blessed with hot mineral springs. Their
original spiritual significance could be felt in the La Bruta spring we
attended. The day we attended La Gruta it was not very busy at all, but
very quiet, which added tothe tranquil experience. The La Gruta has three
small pools where a thermal spring is channeled. The hottest is in a cave
entered through a 27m tunnel, with water gushing from the roof, lit bya
single shaft of sunlight. It was truly amazing to stand under the
waterfall and have a back massage standing in the hot spring housed in a
cave.

That evening we attended a Birthday Party at ´Mama Mia´, which served
mexican food with two wonderful guitarist playing while eight of us
enjoyed our meals.


The day after our La Gruta trip, we wpnt the day exploring San Miguel. We
had a group BBQ with our friends and the others who stay at Villa Martha,
a wonderful group of very friendly people.

After the BBQ we decided to go to an evening concert by the band Voodoo
Chilli. Our friends knew the lead guitarist and his family very well. The
band played a tribute to Muddy Waters and Ray Charles. It was a wonderful
concert held in a small, intimate venue with amazing acoustics.
