Weekend in Bad Salzuflen


Extended Weekend in Bad Salzuflen

Captain's Blog Stardate 12112007
This last weekend I spent in a small city north and far west of Leipzig. I went with Angelo and will to see his mothers house and his godchild Nils. In the town there are these large Gradierwerks (or Saline) These are large exterior walls where ground mineral water (the water is heavy with mineral salts) is pumped to the top of the wall and it flows through a system of branches. These branches allow for the water to to evaporate when the wich blows through them. There is always a fresh saltwater smell around the Saline. It is supposedly very good for one's health and many people go to health parks around a Saline. This was really quite the interesting item that I've been introduced to. Oh yes and I should not forget that we went to the Baths (this required me to buy some hilarious Badehosen). Oh Germany! The picture above is of me with one of my newest friends Emily (the daughter of Angelo's good friend)

Hey Reggie,

Wondering when you visited Saline if your sinus areas felt better?

Love MOM

I wasn't having any problems with breathing when I went so I'm ill equipped to give a good answer to that question (sorry mom).
