terrieOverall, I had a good time. I learned some stuff, had some fun, ate good food. Really, the food was excellent. The first night we even had sushi!
The main downsides were 1) The accomadations. The retreat was at a boarding school, and we were housed in the boys' dorm. The beds were foam matresses that were pretty damned solid. One guy described it as a "bag of dead cats." Also, it kinda smelled like an outhouse. Not real bad, but still, that not something you want present even faintly. 2) The drinking. There was a fairly large amount in the evenings like I haven't seen since college. Now, I have nothing against people drinking on occasion, even in large amounts. Afterall, no one was pushing me to drink. But, I don't find it to be much fun. The simple truth is I find drunk people boring.
Highlights of the trip include the guy who flipped up the bed to use an air matress he brought from home and found a guide to masturbation complete with stick figure illustrations and the chia shower, which was jaw droppingly gross. The bottom of the shower and the bottom four inches of the sides were covered in a thin green-brown slime. Thankfully, there were other showers that were less scary.
Dude. Someone was SO watching Sylvester Stallone's Demolition Man while writing this. I mean, seriously.
