A Healthy Day In San Miguel de Allende

I love traveling with my husband's brother, George and our sister-in-law, Ann. They are easy going, fun to be with, and always willing to try something new. Ann and I are early risers and we like to take long walks in the morning together. We stopped at the huge mercado (market) at the bottom of our street on the way home from our walk yesterday. As you can see there are lots of healthy food options, so you can still eat healthy on vacation. Ann and I both love to cook, so although we do eat out occasionally while traveling, we prefer to cook a good meal at home.

Ann and I always practice yoga before or after our walks, but this is a first for George. Since hubby has been practicing daily since January, we told George that he at least had to try it. We practiced with him 2 times so far.

He is being a good sport about it. George has a great sense of humor sometimes and we got a good dose of "laughter yoga" listening to his groans and comments about yoga.

But so far he rolls out the mat and does what he can.

His favorite pose is corpse (laying flat on the floor).

In the afternoon we went to one of the hot spring spas that are just outside of San Miguel de Allende and enjoyed the 3 hot mineral water pools. Each pool gets progressively hotter and then you travel through a long tunnel into a cave pool that is the hottest and it's pretty steamy as you can see from the photos.

The mineral pools are very therauputic and relaxing.

It was a perfect day.
