From Vannara: Day One

I woke up to chirping birds and Al Berg (who shared a room with me). John Redfearn and Chucky were in another guest room nearby. After a delicious breakfast which ended with fresh pineapples we got a tour of the huge ASYV compound. It sits on top of a mountain and overlooks two lakes and villages that are completely surrounded by vegetation. The school has maybe a dozen or two residence halls, a dining center, a high school, a farm to raise chicken and grow coffee.
