Not what I expected... but then, what did I expect?

So since I got here has definitely been... a bit different then I thought. I have been relaxing, taking it easy, and working hard. I dont really know what I thought would be different, but perhaps it will be what I expected once we are in the city.

Whatever this experience is, it is really great. I have been working out, eating incredible, vegetable full meals every meal, and swimming all of the time. We also just discovered the awesome sauna that smells amazing... so thats a plus.
Basically, Im working at a rehabilitation and health spa... high note on the health. Its been good for the body mind and spirit.
Minus the scratchy-rash thing that I got from tending to the cucumbers... oh well.

The people here are... well, old. But that is because of my location. I like just people watching here and wondering about everyones lives. Each person I have met had had such a different story with them and I like that a lot.

P.S. I definitly saw the oh-so-famous cloud of ash that everyone fears yesterday. It was distant, therefore not that crazy. Hopefully we can fly out when the time comes... fingers crossed?

Anyways, I do miss people, but I am definitely looking forward to my next adventures. Coolest thing on the upcoming schedual - hitchhiking to the next town over on the weekend. Horrah :)
