Hot springs experience!

Just returned from the hot springs shower place, but I got more than just a shower. You get a private room with a huge square bath like a jacuzzi, maybe 1.5 m x 1.5 m. It's very clean, they actually clean the bath in front of you. Then they turn the water on and leave you for the time you want. The water is very warm, perfect temperature for me. I relaxed lying in the bath for half an hour. The water is a little smelly but nothing to bad. I already picture the moment I'll go back there on my return from Rigul and it's cold river washing!
After that I went to the next door big Chorten/Stupa of Kandze, did a few koras and enjoyed a walk back to the hotel.

The lamas told me over lunch that we will leave at 3 or 4 am, tomorrow morning! Quite early but definitely too cold. I'm not sure if we'll get a car going direct to Rigul or first go with the bus to Dzogchen and then get a car.

I haven't mentioned yet that the weather is amazing here. Blue sky with only a few white clouds. By 11 am you can take your sweater off. The only thing is to be careful with the sun, it's very strong and sun cream is compulsory.

Francois, good to hear from you. Tulsa,OK is doing well. Your GPS gives new meaning to the Buddhist endeavor "finding oneself." I'm keeping up with your travels. Maybe you will be able to access comments and know now there is no place you can go that is secret! Keep us posted and be well. JR
