Story

On Tuesday, we had a little bit of extra time between when we were ready and when our first attraction opened, so we went up to one of the city parks and wandered around for a while. We played on the playground and saw several steamy pools and even found a foot bath from hot spring water. It was interesting to see geothermal hot springs in a normal city park.
