I was in the hotel lobby in the foyer taking pictures of @saramiller doing yoga in her boots! @opheliafu arrived with her hat on and scarf wrapped around her neck. She really didn't have to tell me her name, I could just feel it was her! </h3> <p><br></p> <p><img src="https://s6.postimg.org/jb2tbxy29/IMG_0132.jpg" width="1280" height="853"/></p> <p><em>If you look carefully in the reflection you will see @opheliafu in her hat and scarf on the right.</em></p> <h3>As @saramiller and I were couch surfing, a 45 minute walk from the venue at the Volks Hotel, @opheliafu let us store some of our belongs in her room.
