Day Eight

January 26, 2008

Today is the 8th day of this trip. It is Saturday, a non-clinical day. So Cori and I have been roaming the streets and castles around Bad Nauheim..

We started the morning with breakfast in our Hotel. They normally offer fresh fruit, granola, toast , cold cuts and coffee. After that we went to the health spa which has been here since pre-historic times. We had a hot mineral water bath, in wooden tubs, in a private room. It was quite interesting. The place had amazing tile work and kind of felt like you were taking a bath in a museum. The ceilings were high and decorated. The buildings were built strong and stout. The water was clear and epperviscent.

We visited an old castle in a nearby town that was an amazing peice of history. I can't even imagine what life was like in those days. The labor it took to move those stones and build those towers must have taken generations. We roamed the town surrounding the castle and found only a cat pillow sham for Lillian. As it turned 3 p.m. or so, Randy started to run out of go-juice so we came back to the Hotel.

Once back, Randy tried to get the computer communicating with the world. This has been a continual problem. So if you don't hear from us for a few days it's O.K. it's just Randy's German bug acting up again.

We've been reading about the good news in China and are wishing the best for Linda and John. History is being made.

We'll try and log in again tomorrow.
All is well,
Randy & Cori
