Autumn Equinox

There was a nat'l holiday last week for the autumn equinox. Since the kids still had school anyway, the husband and I decided to investigate an ancient hot-springs town called Arima. It had some beautiful scenery and of course the baths. They have 2 types of water: one is iron and salt and the other is a radium and carbonate combination. We didn't bathe in either one, but we did soak our feet in a 'kinsen' spring (the iron/salt one). And my hip hasn't been hurting as much. I think next time I go, I'm going all in and see if I'm cured!
