MMmmm, we're salty!

Tuesday the 23rd we caught a ride with Julius down to Kobe. J and I had the recontracting conference, and since the conference didn't start til 2:00 Wed, Aaron came down to kick around Kobe with us. A and I had arranged to crash at Joy's place, which is only a short ride from Kobe.

Ah, Joy! She fed us soup, chatted up a storm, and best of all, took us to a fancy onsen. Said fancy onsen boasted ... a salt sauna!! Only the coolest thing ev-ah, a salt sauna is a lot like a normal sauna, but with a huge pile of salt in the center. You grab a handful and rub it all over your body. If you're lucky enough to be with a friend, they can get your back [which is what friends are for, right?]. The salt not only exfoliates, it seems to make you sweat faster and keep you cooler. I soooo want a salt sauna here!

Seriously. Salt sauna = best thing ever.
