They picked us up at 0830 and we did a short drive to La Gruta water park LINK. The many pools are fed by thermal underground sources. We started with breakfast there and then found a table. These pictures were taken by Juan.
There were only a zillion folks there. The pools are constantly being refreshed and super warm. A neat thing was a very small water tunnel that led to an amazing grotto where you got heat in the air and the hot water...a true spa. You had to go through the long dark tunnel with 2 way traffic in the water to get to it. There were only a half a zillion people in the tunnel and huge domed room with only small sky lights providing illumination. Awesome. Juan brought his phone and gave me permission to use his.

At about 1300 we went to the birthplace of Mexico more than 200 years ago, the city of Delores Hildago. What a beautiful town and cathedral. Father Hidalgo started the Mexican Revolution 200+ years ago by ring the bells on this cathedral. Oh and the town is famous for its ice cream. Yummy. Croft has pictures and a great recount of history HERE
