I made that title plural, because we actually saw three springs there.  The first one is the neatest…check this out:

Sorry the pic is sideways again.  The back right corner of the cave shape is where the water gushes out, at a pretty good clip, too.  The water is crystal clear.  It flows out between rocks you can walk on and touch the water.

It’s surprisingly not as cold as I would have thought.  Perfect temp for swimming.  My son, the cat whisperer, found another cat to pet.  Not as bad this time since he could immediately wash his hands in the water.

It was perfectly content to lay on his lap and give itself a bath.  Anyway, the water then flows via cement canals to an area that turns into a little pool spot for people to swim in, in the summer time.

There are two more springs that feed a couple of the upper pools, and they flow over these short walls from pool to pool.  Really looked fun for little ones to be able to play in.  We didn’t stay long…back on the road toward Bethlehem.
