Valle de Anton

Sooo this weekend was amazing. We went to the mountains for our weekend excursion and had this entire lil hotel to ourselves. It so tranquil and peaceful up there a complete 360 from the city. It was relaxing and was such a tease cuz I really didn't want to leave and I don 't think anybody else did either. The owner Alexis was so excited about his menu everyday. He made the stay that much better. It had a pool, hot tub, sauna and just so much open space it was wonderful. The first day when we got there was just really a chill day and I was excited cuz I got to riding, but it wasn't a serious ride cuz it was in a western saddle and the horses really weren't trained but whatever we still had a good time. That night we just all hung out had a good time and played some spades. It's nice during the day but at night it can get a bit chilly.
Day 2. This is where it gets interesting. So this is the day of the hike. I was told that it was gonna be like an easy 2-3hr hike nothing serious you know.....WRONG WRONG WRONG....i thought I really wasn't gonna make it up that mountain....it was a straight incline bascially with loose rock so uneven footing...plus it was hot and all i could think was please dont let my asthma come back right now...but mom you'd be proud i made it up to the top and ill be putting up pics to prove it...that was quite an accomplishment lemme tell u...after that ii got in the pool for a bit.
Then a few of us went to the serpenteria anf i held 2 snakes(there will be picks to prove this as well lol)....after that I went riding again but it wasn't as fun as the first day probably cuz there was a lot more people and the dad wouldn't let me ride like i wanted to but whatever. I wrapped up the day with more cards and learned how to play rummy(i dont know how to spell it)
Day 3. Unfortunately we had to come back today. A few of us decided that we wanted to go to the hot springs and check it out. All i can say is good thing we didn't walk because I would've been pissed. It wasn't what i thought it was going to be at all...there was just concrete walls everywhere i thought it was going to be more natural....so the owner(cuz he drove us there) took us for a lil ride and showed us some things it was fun....afterwards we got back and i finally got the hot water to work...so excited bout that!!! and i just chilled by the pool for the rest of the day and did some work.
After leaving the hotel we went into the town a bit and did some shopping youll have to wait and see those...well thats all for today now i gotta do hw and get ready for my first day of teaching
