Our Trip To Baños

I recommend that you visit Leslie's Facebook page for pictures of the spa we visited. I wasn't ever planning on going into too much detail about the spa, but I will give you the url for its website: http://www.piedradeagua.com.ec/ There's an English option on the webpage that opens.

These pictures are more about the view we got from a hill I climbed up and the last two are from the church in Baños. The inside is incredibly beautifully decorated, but I'm not taking pictures inside an active church. Museum/Tourist trap churches in Europe are another thing entirely.

I also want to say that we went to an incredible restaurant with lots of great grilled food. Their mayonnaise was phenomenal as well. A lot of places have homemade mayonnaise (made daily of course) with spices and oils and other tasty stuff and ketchup here is a lot sweeter that in the US. Whenever we go back to Baños for the spa we'll always go back to this place too.



This is Leslie in one of the fuentes termales.



This is me on top of a ledge I climbed (from the side you can't see.) I'm not sure if you can tell, but that's my Procter t-shirt. The Procter flag flies in the Andes.



This is another picture of me sitting on top of the ledge. I'm not sure why my eyes are closed; I was taking in the view.



The view was the reason I climbed up there. This is a part of it.



Eventually, Leslie climbed up there with me.



We sat up there for a few minutes being cute and wondering how we ever ended up living in the Andes Mountains.



This is a picture of the church at the top of the hill the town of Baños is on and the little market set up in front of it. I realized on the way there why they put their church where they did. Not only because it is most visible and most iconic at the top of the hill, but once you climb all the way up there you don't want to leave until the end of the day.



This is the view of Cuenca, down in the valley, from the top of Baños.
