we always thought this would be a pit stop as we were passing by to go to on a different adventure.
turns out, this place made a pretty nice overnight trip.
just off the main road in a very small town is a place where lava used to flow.
now there are just remains of it all.
and tubes to explore.
and hot springs to soak in.
our little spot nestled next to one of the only "mountains" around.
briggs is cute.
yoga on top of a lava mountain...of course.
gordon making me breakfast. he normally cooks a nice breakfast but because this was going to be such a short trip we decided to eat oatmeal. glad we did because we forgot our utensils and ended up drinking it.
i love going places with these two. and they love coming. they're a couple of explorers.
abbi is cute.
jr., our neighbor friend, and gordon starring off into a deep lava pit.
little lava bubble caves all over.
lava arch.
can't you just picture the lava running. so incredible.
lava pit.
as wondered the flat plains every now and then you'd come across a cave. pretty awesome.
a mossy patch among the lava rocks.
move caves.
we love our la tortuga blanca and one day hope to live in her full time.
a couple can dream, right.
the lave tube. it went on for a mile or so with bubble holes that led to the ground level appearing every so often. it was incredible.
at one point all you could see was black lava rock for miles.
there were three hot springs we could soak in. one was overrun by a boy scout troop.
the other was overrun by cows.
when we finally found "our" hot spring we were glad the other two were occupied.
the water was nice and warm. and so clear.
in a hot spring with my hot spring.
i love him so much.
glad i am his adventure partner.
