So right now I'm at Forte Lounge here in the mountains south of El Nati, Kazusan. Up here they have ski resorts in the winter, but in the summer you can take the cable car and enjoy hikes. I grew up going to ski resorts in the United States and Norway, and honestly this is way more modern and clean and so on than a lot of resorts I've seen back in the States or in Europe. So yeah, I'm gonna try We're going to take the cable car today, I think. So, I'm super excited.
