Day off!!!!

Finally my first day off! Oh it was well needed. I woke up with the sun shining into my room feeling happy. By the time I took a shower and was ready to hit the trails the sun was gone...
I really thought it was going to rain and it was really chilly outside. So i stayed around the lodge and finished up some stuff that had to be done. -Levi I feel like you changing clothes 3 times a day. Even with the sun gone i sucked it up, put on some water clothes and headed to the river. I'm still not very good at kayaking and don't go way down the river. Really i just make big circles. But I'm learning and it's a great workout. I keep looking for my eels that haunt my dreams and the big trout but i never see anything. nothing. just birds. I guess my goal of catching a fish with my bare hands is shot. BUT I really enjoyed kayaking anyways.
Then back in for lunch and some chill time. Reading, napping, letter writing. The sun did come back out but it wasn't really sunny enough to sit outside and with the cooler weather comes more sandflys. I HATE SANDFLYS. They bite and hurt like on other. They just really get to me. I really wanted to be outside but I would have to be moving, ugh. So I asked susan what trail I should run. I don't remember the name of it but it was a great trail. Running it I was done 40 min. What a run but it's a good fun one. Yes to be honest I fell a bit like jello but hope to make a habit of that run and add onto it some as well.

So today was the calm before the storm. Tomorrow we will have 14 people in and that's a lot. I use to 4 or 6. This means getting up even earlier... talking like being in the kitchen BY 6 or 6:3o to set up and cook. blahh. But the good news is that there will be families with kids and I get to play with them. FUN. They will be my social life. sooo great day today and I'm ready to jump into this next round of work. Hope you all are doing well! lots of love. oxox

Oh if forgot. The three of us (susan, marion, and I) had a night off and went out to eat then home to watch a movie. It was great fun. It really felt like summer so I tried to order a milk shake.....umm yeah.. That would just be cold milk with sugar. no icecream. that was odd and a let down. New Zealand also does really funny things to their burgers. Like put pineapple on it. ...strange kiwis
