Day 107

Salto, Uruguay

Western Border with Argentina.

We are on our way to Iguazu Falls....but decided to break up the 16 hour bus ride with a halfway stop. The first leg of our journey was six hours across Uruguay.....Scary...but I have to admit I am getting use to these bus rides. They are not that bad. This one even had luxury fold-down chairs bigger than those in first class on a plane!

Salto is your typical border town.....but this one found its claim to fame when they discovered crystal clear thermal water bubbling up undernearth its soil. They built a resort around it and that is where we are taking our three day break.

The resort is considered 5 star....not quite by American standards. the rooms are simple and the food is terrible. However, we have decided it was a good place to stop because the ammenities are great.

There are of course the thermal baths....

And three swimming pools, horseback ridding, spa services, nature walks, and all that good stuff you expect from a full service resort. There is also a kids club where Bryce has basically lived since we arrived. He loves it in there....even if all the other kids only speak Spanish!

Today we mostly hung around in the water. How can you not when the water is naturally over 100 degress F. I dont think Rich and Bryce have ever seen me spend so much time emmersed.....but thats because I am always cold! Not a problem at Thermas! Bryce called today "Herald Family Fun Day!" I would say that was about right. :)

Bryce´s favorite is the water playground!
