R & R
Just a quickie about my day or R&R at the Crossings. A big thumbs up for the facilities, especially the Wellness Center. The sauna, plunge pool, hot tub combo was a real winner. Throw in a heated swimming pool with a great view and you can't go wrong.
The campus had all the usual features - guest services, main hall, cafe, dining hall, sanctuary, guest housing and some forest trails. I took part in a sampler on Iridology and generally took it easy. No seasonal staff here - the service/interaction was friendly though felt somewhat clinical at times. The cafe seemed less of a focal point and the TV in the corner blaring out American Idol was about as much atmosphere as it could muster. They do serve wine, beer, Coke and Dr Pepper though...
I have a lot more images and a few video clips I'll work into a virtual tour of sorts so watch this space. Off now to continue my hunt for an oil change for the van (nobody seems to stock 1982 oil filters - strange that) and then it's south to Big Bend National Park.
