Getting Real Muddy!

Hey Everyone,

Last weekend I went to one of the dirtiest festivals I've ever been to! But this was a really good dirt??!?! It was the Boryong Mud Festival on the west coast of Korea. (http://mudfestival.or.kr/lang/en/index.jsp) WOWEEE!!! Let me tell you that I've always wanted to roll in mud and that's just what I did! You could have rolled, slid, wrestled, massaged, or danced in some of the most nutritious mud around. The mud in Boryong is famous for its nutrients and so they've developed an entire festival around this! For two days I walked around covered in mud along side thousands of Koreans and foreigners doing the same thing. They had lots of entertainment on the beach as well as on the water. On the Saturday we watched some of the best fireworks I've ever seen. All the fireworks were connected to one major fuse so they just kept going off rotating from high to low ones. A couple of the highlights included one that was heart shaped, a willow tree looking one and ones that were floating on the ocean!! It was a great weekend that left us all with smooth but very sunburnt skin!

In other news I'm heading to Japan in less then 2 weeks!!! I can't believe it's almost here! I'm going with two of my friends and we are hitting up a huge festival called Fuji Rocks and then were heading to Fuji Mountain, Kyoto and Osaka! It's going to be very jammed packed but I can't wait!!!

Hmm, what else do I have to say...let's see....I think that's it hahah...I always think of great things to blog about when I'm not sitting in front of the comp!!! Ok to all those heading to Blue Ball this weekend have an amazing time, I'm thinking of all of you and wishing you a wonderful time in the woods, dance your hearts off for me!!!!
