Sights to be Seen

So this weekend, my dearest mother found a lovely place for some friends and I to go called Tequisquiapan. Yeah good luck pronouncing that. They call it Tequis for short. So we booked a hotel for 4 or 5 with some natural hot springs and a pool and decided to take the 45 minute bus ride for 5 dollars to the town. We got there on Saturday and we were super excited! It was definetly one of my favorite places so far. We were in paradise! Although the website said 1,000 of natural hot springs, we quickly learned that what that really meant was that the two pools and hot tubs were filled with natural purified water from hotsprings that exsisted elswhere in the city. However we were more than ok with that because this meant we could lay next to, or in, the pool and enjoy the very hot mexican sun. A few hours later we wandered into the small town of Tequis and ate some food and did a little sight seeing. Little did we know that the next day we were the ones who were the sights to be seen. Today (sunday) all of the workers and bartenders thought it would be a good idea to secretly take pictures of us with their phones....can you say AWKWARD...gotta love being from the US I guess... Finally the one worker who spoke English to us yesterday came up to us and was like, ummm i need a picture with you... and we were like really? In our bathing suits? But at least he asked. We shoulda asked for a free drink from the situation...didn't think on our toes. SO that was probably one of the most awkward things ever. We decided shortly after that that we needed to swim and sit at the OTHER side of the pool, and that shortly after that, it was time to check out.
Overall we REALLY enjoyed our weekend getaway to Tequisquiapan, I might easily say it is my favorite place I have been so far. Very quaint, very pretty, and very relaxing. YAY! Thanks mommy.

  1. Well you are most welcome daughter! I mean you do need to experience a little luxury while you're down there! I'm so glad you went and you girls had a nice time. Not sure about the Mexicans photographing you though. That's kind of creepy, but whatever. Anywway, have a good week. I'll be glad to have you back in a few more weeks!!
