Today has been great!  I have not laughed so hard in a long time.  Most of it was spent cleaning and shopping to finish getting ready for our travelers to start arriving for our first fun filled weekend on the shore.  The staff that is here is meshing well and I think they will be great.  The accent barrier is only causing some confusion but it is neat too.  Who knows what I will be talking like when I get back once I understand my English and Scotland roommates. 

I think there is going to have to be at least one funny story from the day.  I am thinking some days will exceed just the one but I think I should share some of my laughs along to everyone.  The first story that had me laughing was the discussion about me burning my chest last week when I was shooting with Lisa.  It was a little hard to explain how you catch the spent casing in your shirt but once past that the fixation on was on that I know how to shoot and everyone should be afraid bc I was coming after them if they irritated me...lol.  So of course I explained to run in a zig-zag to be harder to hit.  So of course they had to practice their zig-zag running skills.  It was awesome.  THEN at dinner tonight we were eating pizza, pretty normal right?  And it was very good.  One of the staff had gotten some mussels and convinced another staff to sample it.  It was hilarious!  She chewed slowly, her face gradually turned red and she finally swallowed it and attempted to get rid of the taste with her water.  Apparently the taste of mussels stick with you for a bit.  Then the explanation of what these taste like comes a "you know when you fall into the sea and you get an unexpected mouth full of water that you can't get rid of?  That is what this tastes like."  LOL...we were laughing so hard.

This is the wonderful view I get to wake up to each morning!  It is awesome!  It has been beautiful weather and can't wait for all our travelers to get here tomorrow and the real chaos can begin!!!
