A Malstrom of Beginnings

Guess what? First thing I did when I got to Earth Embassy? Went to the onsen. (hot spring bathhouse) :)
Oh my goodness, it is quite possibly one of the best onsen ever. They had a myriad of soaking pools, including a sauna and cold pool, bubbles!, lavander pool, Mt. Fuji viewing tubs on a balcony, and oh my goodness, a water light-show. I was so clean. I couldn't wait to get filthy enough to warrant making the trek back!

In my first day alone, I have: planted pepper plants, weeded, mulched, sown seed beds, washed a sink of dishes, harvested blueberries, made salad, and played Settlers of Catan! This place is perfect. Even though it rained for half the day. This, was a very good day.

Full of good food too! I wish I had taken more pictures. I should be more conscious of it anyhow, so I'll try in the next few days. There's also quite a bit to get acquainted with, but I'm sure in the next week or two I'll be able to work with everyone and know where to go pretty well. It's only my first day out after all. Though I'm not quite sure where I'm sleeping tonight. Oh well. Futons abound. Goodnight.

Take care,
