Today, the ever-in-search-of-strange-and-unusual-Chicago girlfriends quartet hit the Galos Salt-Iodine Caves. It seems that salt from the Black Sea (Crimean Salt) is good for all sorts of things like good breathing, skin, digestion, nervous systems and sinuses. All I can vouch for is that today, even though I ate ten pounds of chicken curry beforehand, I came out hungry again. So I think I will personally add to the list that Crimean Salt is also good for weight gain. These caves happen naturally in parts of the world near the Black Sea and since people must have hung out in them from time to time and noticed the health benefits, it's become the business of the Everet Company to recreate these caves all over the world and charge $15 for 45 minutes.
It was a lovely outing I must say. And even though the room was a little heavy on the Canon in D, the quiet moments of ocean sounds and birds accompanied by the salty air, was the perfect way to escape this cold, grey Chicago day. (The hostess said that 45 min in there is equivalent to three days by the sea.) (Wait, what does that mean? What are we counting here?)
Anyway, in the words of Allison as we left the place, "What just happened in there?"
