daufuskie

I've been living the lush life since Tuesday-- there is something to be said of the female energies of island living that take the stress away.
i am spending the day at the spa tomorrow--facial, pedicure, manicure and massage also sauna, pool and hottub.
can't wait.

Today I took a dolphin tour around the neighboring islands and got myself a history lesson to boot. I have been thinking of proposing a library on the island (of which I will gladly man) where I could house books for the locals as well as children on the island. Was hoping to build a small house with wall to wall totami mats, paper doors and cedar structure but the cost of property is sky high. It doesn hurt to dream, does it?

Last night I met up with some old friends whom I met last year at Marshside Momma's (Mike and Edgar). Good times and southern hospitality. Last year we slugged down a bottle of champagne and talked shit. This year it was gumbo and vodka tonics.
Mike saved us a trip with a ride home in his rig...good to see people stay the same. It was wonderful (al biet short) to see them again.

So a few more days of r and r and I'll be ready to return to civilization. Something about the sun down here just bakes the bad karma outta me.

before I go...

I am leaving for Dafuskie in 2 hours. http://spas.about.com/library/weekly/aa081603.htm
I'm taking my banjo and my running shoes and that is about it.
Picked up two books for the trip: Alex Kerr's Dogs and Demons
and a book on the history of Spain, specifically background of Queen Isabella.

I'll be checking email daily, one of the perks of this resort--no cars, lots of beach and internet!
