Very stimulating to walk the path with simply a slight cushioning from my socks. The massages included quite a bit of pressure point reflexology, and each treatment was divine!<br /><br />Christine,<br />Those wonderful carts are placed throughout the grounds.

The aged and contorted plant is quite mermerizing indeed, and the reflexology path, it beckons to be walked upon. Say, I've got some extra snow if you're at all interested. I'm sure there must be another post or three on your trip and am eager to escape from the ice and snow Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11734807639763465706noreply@blogger.com
