Day 4 of our trip was a Sunday.  There wasn’t a LDS church within 100 miles so we weren’t able to attend church.  However, in the spirit of the Sabbath, we tried to make this to be a calmer, recuperation day.  I’m not sure how successful we were but we did try!

We enjoyed our breakfast buffet ever so much and then I went for an hour Thai massage.  It was outdoors so I could hear the waves rolling in which was very relaxing.  Sadly, that was about the only relaxing part!  The massage was even more brutal than the first.  At one point she was pinching my toes and all over my feet and legs.  I actually had to peek to make sure I wasn’t bleeding.  She also put me into some strange contortions and some cracks were heard like I’ve never heard before.  I had to keep from screaming out at times, but in the end, I was incredibly loose and relaxed.  She told me it was good for my blood and I would be very healthy?

The rest of the day is a bit of a blur but I think it included a very steep hike to a lookout, Indian food for lunch, kayaking, and beach time.
