Snorkeling, Pele, other fun things

A couple days ago I went snorkeling for the first time! It was a lot of fun! I got to see some really cool fish! I went with Mat, Hanna, Sarah, and Melina. We went to this place called the Tide Pools. It is down the street like 10 mins. I am going again on Saturday. I guess there has been this big turtle around so it would be cool to see that.

So 2 days ago Sarah, Jon, Hanna, Melissa and I woke up at 4 am and went to see and visit Pele. She is the goddess of this Island. Also she is the volcano down the road 10 miles. It was one of the coolest things I've ever seen. It was also a full moon. Pele is right on the ocean as well. It was so beautiful!!! We started to leave as the sun was setting!!! Its like a mile hike in. And on the way back to the car we got really LOST. We were hiking around in lava rocks for about 2 hours. Somehow we missed the road and ended up all the way on the other side of the road! It was horrible at the time because no one had water. We were so dehydrated when we got back to the car. I was ever so glad to see people other than the ones I was with. Melissa sprained her ankle and luckily that was the only injury from our trip.

A couple days ago we had Ohana night again. It was the massage exchange party. It was awesome! Megan gave me a massage and she used to be a massage therapist for 10 years. I slept so good that night!

Since the last time I checked in there has been 4 people who have left and about 5 new people. Its crazy how fast time is going and how quickly people come and go here...

Oh so since there was a big group in last week during my birthday the kitchen didn't make a cake for me but I got one on Tuesday night... it was really good! It was chocolate sponge cake with this custer filling and the icing was made of cream cheese and whip cream! YUM!!!

Nothing else is really happening... just been hanging out by the pool and going to workshops... I had a water watsu the other day and that was amazing. Its where the massage therapist guides you through water stretching and massaging you. It was really relaxing!!

Work has been really fun!! A bunch of us made up housekeeping super names... mine is maidy the maid... and my super power is that I teleport... at least for today! Some of the other names are... Sadie the cleaning lady, Bernie, Stan the cleaning man, and Glenda. . we like to have lots of fun while working...
