Special Day in Lahr

Today we drove to a mineral bath and spa in Baden Baden. I did promise G a very good time. We swam, lazed around, went into the aroma therapy steam room, and ate a very healthy lunch. This is not the very special time that I promised him however. At the end of our day, when he went for a shower, he was to find himself and 6 other men in the room all showering together - which is normal. However, when a cleaning lady mozied in to spray the floors and wash the drains out all around the men, this was not normal. So,,,,,, Gerhard decided that when in Germany - behave as the Germans do. AAAhhh, he decided it was a good time to wash his private parts. Well, enough of that. Poor G - Europe is having its way with him. Females, on the other hand, even got private shower stalls to choose from if they wanted.
We drove all over places in Lahr today just to do justice with our little car and to show Gerhard as much as possible. We even went to the old airfield to see how much it has changed. Lots of the buildings have been taken down and the land is now in the process of being marked for fire hydrants and streets. There were still many of the airfield buildings left - my old office building was even renovated and is a beautiful thing in the midst of a bunch of ugly green old military buildings left to be dealt with. We drove around as much as we could and took pictures of many of them because they will soon disappear from the face of the earth. The entire area has been filled with companies that deal with shipping or trucking or big business.
All of our little trips only used 1/4 of a tank of fuel, but that's not saying much because the tank only holds 1 cup of fuel anyway. Just kidding - 30 litres. We return the poor little bugger tomorrow just before we take the train outta here. We leave with very fond memories of this place - still knowing that we Canadians left a wonderful impression on these people and knowing that the city is starting to fare better in the last 10 years.
Onward we go - due South.
