ALEJANDRIA, COLOMBIA SA
TERMALES-ANTIOQUIA COLOMBIA is a natural thermal hot spring located on the road connecting the pueblos of Santa Domingo and Alejandria. Termales opened in 1903, and was a popular tourist attraction for many years. However, during the political unrest of the 70s, 80s, and 90s, business fell off to the point that, for all practical purposes. the place was closed down. It reopened several years ago, but because it was in a state of disrepair, it never regained its previous popularity.
A couple of weeks ago, my wife, Luz, signed an agreement with the owners to take over the management of the facility. So, she hired a contractor and some trabadores (me included), and for the last few days we've cut down the weeds, and pressure-washed all of the buildings and the pools. There was a small house on the property and we started working on it first . it was nearly completed when a huge landslide took out the house and about 100 meters of the road. Unbelievably, Luz noticed a crack developing in the road and managed to get everyone to safety before the slide occurred.
