Entrance to the Spa

The spa at the Grand Palladium is an amazing facility where you can enjoy the tranquilty of the pool which leads you down a "river " to the secluded enclosure of the hot tubs . We spent a few days there just relaxing and enjoying the moment . One night we took in a Mexican yoga class . Although we could not understand our instructor , words did not seem to matter as the scenery was so peaceful . Dawn worked out in the gym twice and I did once ( okay , it was under mild protest but I did it . ) We booked ourselves a stone massage and a facial together . The stone massage was a comforting warming therapy but not like a deep ,muscle massage . It was my daughter's first massage and my 3rd . We also had our facials in the same room together . Both our Mexican skin specialists were men . Mine was Felipe . We were having different treatments. While Dawn could stay fully dressed , I had to undress from the waist up . Hmmmm. It was a very odd facial for me as Felipe not only massaged my face but my neck , shoulders , both feet , and left thigh as well . I assumed the left thigh thing was for the blood flow of some sort . ( Mine not his . ) I have to tell you Felipe did an awesome treatment . Dawn and I both left with dewy and glowing complexions . I think my skin was glowing for a different reason than hers . Oh well , at my age , you just accept.
