Well my blog title this time makes it sound like I spent the weekend in the bathroom, but contrary to what 4th-grade Spanish makes it seem like, Baños is a city known for its hot springs and adventure sports that Jessica and I visited this weekend! It was overall a relaxing weekend, but we didn't do a whole lot. I would consider returning and doing the whitewater rafting and this sport where apparently you just put on a harness/rope and jump off a bridge (though somehow it's not the same as bungee jumping). We got there on Saturday, walked around for a while, and got massages at our hostel. We tried to do some of our homework, but the wifi we were promised was basically un-usable. Oh, first world problems. We went to bed nice and early so that we could wake up at 5:30 and head to the hot springs! Unfortunately, they were still pretty busy at that time. And they looked like regular swimming pools, so that was a disappointing deviation from my dreams of small misty pools hidden in the forest. Oh well, they were still hot and relaxing. :) When we weren't being splashed by the old men who decided doing laps in the springs was a good idea...

| Any time I looked up Baños online, people were saying to go to Stray Dog. I never really planned on it, but we happened to pass it, and it turned out to be really good! |
