We went up to Las Fuentes Georginas (a natural hot springs site about an hour from Xela) on a weekend overnight trip from Saturday to Sunday, and it ended up being pretty awesome, although at first I was concerned that we would not have enough to do for the entire time that we were there. I was obviously not thinking hard enough, because drinking can definitely take up a lot of time. We spent the first day in and out of the springs, drinking a few beers and enjoying the weather (no rain, shockingly). Later on we attempted (and failed disastrously) to create a charcoal fire to roast hot dogs. We ended up cooking most of them on our one tiny candle and a few small flames on pieces of wood that we added to the charcoal to try and get the damn things to light. Therefore the hot dogs were mostly lukewarm and not very satisfying. Thankfully we had enough alcohol that we didn't care all that much.
As could probably be expected, the night devolved into drinking games and a lot of laughter and shared secrets, which was fun. The best part was that the weather was good enough that the sky was clear and absolutely filled with stars. Jill was lucky enough to see a couple shooting stars, too. We braved the dark to chill in the springs again when it got cold, and then drunkenly built a blazing, cozy fire in one of the two bungalows that we had rented for the night.
