Doctor fish? Oki Doki...

Today we stopped by this little spa where for $13.00 and 10 minutes of your time you can do this...

These little guys are Garra Rufa or "doctor fish".


The are found in Turkey in hot springs...not Arkansas.


They nibble off the dead skin cells on your feet.

Cleopatra was known to have used these fish to help keep her skin beautiful.


Let's talk ticklish.

If your feet are ticklish like mine, you're going to freak out in the beginning. After a few minutes it wasn't so bad...until they started going in between my toes.

The fish provide what is called an infrasonic massage.

So...how do my feet look?
You have to hand it to Wikipedia to give a great definition for such an odd activity!

Hey there Okinawa Mama! I'm glad you got there ok!!! I called you on your cell before you left, but I knew you had a billion things going on. I'm glad you had fun at Sea World and with the Doctor Fish!! Someone just told me about them last week and I was meaning to look them up. Very cool!!! So glad you're doing well. Happy Anniversary too!!!!!

Let me know when you think I should send Jenna-bear's turtle. I know her birthday isn't until September, but I thought we were going to send it sooner. If you would like anything else sent, just let me know and it's yours.

I love you bunches and miss the 3 of you greatly. You are always on my mind.

God Bless & big hugs,
Christina
