Out of Phoenix Experience

Yea, it’s been cold here in AZ. I know, I am whining about it, but after being here almost a decade in AZ my blood has thinned out. So, I had a meeting the other day downtown and figure it would be a great time to take advantage of the Downtown YMCA. Not only was I able to do my typical workout, but BONUS+ Steam Room. After my workout I went to the locker room slipped into my flip flops. Sporting the provided lovely bleach white towel and safety pinned my locker key to it. I made my way to the steam room. Opening the door to the humid heat, I was not shocked to see the outline of other bodies.   The shocking thing was that once I sat down and realized those bodies were speaking Russian. I suddenly felt transported back to NYC, at the 10th St. Russian Baths. The only thing missing was the smell of the eucalyptus and an “Jewish acupuncture” appointment to get beat with a broom. Don’t knock till you’ve tried it.  Once I exited back onto Central Ave. I was whisked back to Phoenix, thankful for the time I spent out of Phoenix.
