Day 7: Nonna and Nana soaking it all in

Ojo Caliente Mineral Spa, New Mexico






Today’s activities were soak in the pools, soak in the sun, eat a little, read a little...repeat. Here are a few pictures (not all of the pools) of where we are. 

The courtyard as you enter the spa grounds. 
























Nonna taking an early morning swim in the kiva pool 
















The Iron Springs.  Supposed to help fatigue, immune system, and mood. The bottom of this pool is filled with several inches of smooth pebbles.  It feels so good to just walk around and massage the tootsies.  




















The mud bath area.  Yes, we slathered ourselves in mud and then soaked in the sun.   

















One of the hottest pools at 104. We didn’t last too long in this one.  
























The Lithia Pool is also a meditation place.  This one is supposed to aid in digestion and help with arthritis. 





















This place is dotted with different nooks and crannies to just relax.


























One of the many fireplaces throughout.  
















There are several gardens and hiking trails scattered around the spa grounds. 



















Tonight Nonna treated us to a lovely dinner at the Spa Inn. A little vino, a little locally grown food, some dessert...wonderful way to end our day.  































Our sweet little camping spot on the grounds.
