Spa Day At Santa Teresita

Whenever Bruce and I have guests in Antigua, I like to take them for a day at the spa at Santa Teresita.  On Wednesday morning, they offer a free shuttle to and from the spa.  I thought I registered for it.  In fact I sent in a request twice, but did not hear back.  So we went to meet the shuttle anyway.  They just barely had enough room to fit the four of us on the shuttle.

It takes about an hour to get there so Sandy and I squished in the back of the shuttle quickly made conversation with all the people around us.  One of the woman owns the cigar shop which Bruce loves to frequent.

We finally arrived and I think Sandy and Scott were quite impressed with the place.

After a quick change in the locker rooms, we began our hour long torture in the thermal circuit.  We went from hot water to cold water to medium water and then we did it all over again.  Actually the cold water wasn’t as cold as it has been in the past.

After the thermal circuit we went to our private sauna, steam rooms for half an hour.  The steam was filled with fragrances of eucalyptus.

We met up with Sandy and Scott for lunch on the terrace.  Bruce and I had ceviche.  It was delicious.

Santa Teresita also has a hotel connected to it.  Maya, our coordinator, gave us a tour of the hotel.

I think we may try to stay over some time when we come up for a spa day.

Our next stop was a 75 minute couples massage.  It was lovely.  Both Bruce and I fell asleep.

It was a fun filled day at the spa and I think everyone enjoyed themselves.  And Scott braved his first massage with a 75 minute long one.

For dinner we ate at the Chef’s Daughter.  Bruce and I had pizza and Sandy and Scott split a Chicken Parm.  It was ok but not the best Antigua has to offer.  The ambiance was nice though.  And Sandy was sporting her curly hair.

On Thursday Bruce and I had to get up early to do our Spanish homework.  Carmen, our maestro, was coming at 10.  What slackers we are.  We had it done just in time.

We met up with Sandy and Scott at Veinte-siete.  We really like that little restaurant.

For dinner, Scott and Sandy treated us to dinner at Meson Panza Verde again.  This night I had a Thai stir fry.  It was wonderful.

It’s time to say goodbye to our two amigos.  It was great having them here and showing them the beauty of a Guatemala.

Bruce and I were ready to rest on Valentines Day.  We met some friends for coffee, saw Juana, Clara and Ruth in the park.

Bruce bought me a necklace from Edgar.  And of course I photographed his darling daughter again.

For dinner, we stayed home and had a cheese and onion omelet with a croissant and watched Netflix.  Bruce has my cold, which I am just getting over.  Time to rest a bit.

Life is Good!
