Briefings

06.24.04
This little, murky soak gave-way to a most enjoyable experience. We had to wait in line for only a few minutes before soaking in the hot water, but ended up meeting some friendly people in the process. There was a bum guy however who was taking his time in the area, mostly to stare at whatever female was soaking naturally in the pool.
