Cedar Enzyme Bath - Osmosis Spa, Freestone CaliforniaSpas and Spa Resorts in Santa Rosa, United States The Osmosis Spa is a full-menu spa, but the reason I visited was to experience the cedar enzyme baths, which are big sandboxes filled with hot, moist cedar, rice bran and enzymes imported from Japan: www.gogirlfriend.com/reviews/osmosis-...
After being buried up to our chins, I immediately felt Cedar Enzyme caged in, trapped, but within minutes I lost myself to the rhythm of my own heartbeat.
After the bath, we were kneaded and rubbed during a 75-minute Thai massage. We then floated to a quiet room to rest. I'd like to say I fell into a deeply meditative state, but my girlfriend said all I did was snore.
In all honesty, I haven't felt this scrubbed clean of all my cares and worries since I was 12.

Assateague IslandIslands in Appalachian States, United States Assateague Island, located off the coasts of Maryland and Virginia, is most famous for its population of wild horses. It is said that the horses are survivors from a shipwreck off of the Virginia coastline hundreds of years ago. Although this story is not validated, it is known that the colonists used Assateague Island as a place for horses and livestock to graze.
Today, the horses remain on the island and are separated into two distinct herds: one on the Maryland side of the island and the other on the Virginia side. Visitors are more than welcome to enjoy these feral animals in their natural habitat but the horses should be given plenty of space for safety measures.
Wild horses are not the only inhabitants of Assateague Island. Native white tailed deer and the sika deer which is a species of elk, also reside on the island as well as many birds and reptiles. Assateague Island is a place of unique wildlife mingling with pristine beaches and man-made structures.

Ocracoke IslandBeaches in Appalachian States, United States Once known as the haunt of the infamous pirate Blackbeard, Ocracoke Island is now heralded for its secluded, undeveloped beaches and its unique regional charm. Ocracoke Island is one of the barrier islands of North Carolina’s Outer Banks and is only accessible by boat or plane. The island’s 16 miles of beaches are great for fishing, swimming and sunbathing by day, and the beach’s sunsets are legendary. Ocracoke locals have a laid back lifestyle that is ideal for escaping from the clamor of the rat race. The surrounding town still retains the charm of an old-fashioned fishing village – perfect for a quiet dinner with the family or a romantic night out.

Antelope CanyonCanyons in Southwest Desert, United States The two slot canyons making up Antelope are like a winding maze of rounded narrow stone passages, in some places just wide enough for people to get through. The wall's sedimentary stripes are warm red and orange coloured and although dry most of the year the canyon floods during the wet seasons and the thunderous water continues to erode the sandstone, carving the canyon still deeper. Sunlight enters the canyons from above and through holes in some of the walls and acts as a spotlight, adding a startling effect on the strange environment. This is one of the most visited of the world's slot canyons because of its easy access and colourful rock. Very photogenic.
