We went to Italy and came back.

We left ellmau a few days ago and drove for a long time. We went to the dolomites in Italy for a night so that Bens grandparents could meet with an woodcarver, and pick up some pieces for their craft store in B-more. Then it was off to Germany, Bad Kreuznach to be exact. This town is where Bens grandmother was born and is beautifully set in a valley surrounded by vineyards. There are these huge walls along thriver where mineral water from a well is pumped up the structure and then drips down and through these sticks that the wall is made from. In Germany,if you are sick,sometimes your doctor sends you to a spa or maybe even to this town, where for six weeks you are expected to walk these tall structures and cure what ails you. Oh, and drink beer.
