| We began the day with the tour of the elegant Baden-Baden casino. Some of the group hiked up the hill while I looked for a sporting goods store to buy Nordic walking poles. I was lucky to find that shortest poles in the inventory were on sale. I was now ready for anything, and enjoyed walking along the Mosel River.

| Rolinka and seven women agreed to experience the total naked Roman-Irish Bath in late afternoon. Male members or couples were expected to go there two hours earlier. To my astonishment, a stray male member of our group came into the hot air sauna room and sat next to me. I now call these brave women �my bosom buddies.� I have given this stray member a new name, but in good taste I can�t mention it here. |
