Relax and unwind

Ahhhhhh....a sigh of relief. My wonderful husband treated me to a day of spa luxury!
Stephen and I took the afternoon yesterday (Sat. Sept. 27) and drove to Wiesbaden (about 1.25 hrs. from where we live) to spend the evening in the sauna/spa.

Oh, it was so relaxing. I was very sick this week with a textbook case of a severe cold, so sitting in the saunas-breathing in the infused steam and relaxing in the swirling pools of mineral water really rejuvenated my body and soul.

After our spa day, Stephen took me to his favorite restaurant in Mainz - where he commutes to for work 2 to 3 times a week. This Turkish restaurant treated me to what may have been the best meal I've ever had. I literally have no idea what it was, but I think it was pork. It was covered in a fragrant red sauce and came with a garlic yogurt sauce for dipping. AMAZING. I spent the entire meal nibbling and shaking my head in disbelief! That experience comes too infrequently!

Scrubbed clean by steam and filled to the brim with incredible eats, we drove home and fell into bed where I got my most fitful night of sleep in ages. Unfortunately, now it's 5am and I don't know what to do with myself so early in the morning on a weekend! :) Oh well, I could have much worse problems.
