Jeremy and I celebrated last Sunday with our first trip to the German Sauna. It was unbelievably relaxing--- 5 different saunas and pools with different temperatures. There was one sauna that smelled citrusy, one that was menthey, and one where a worker put water on the coals and then flung a towel at us to make it even hotter. In this super-hot sauna, we also received a skewer of fruit in-between the towel-flinging. And eating a 'skewer' of fruit in a room that is 100 degrees with 30 other naked people is not only pretty funny, but also extremely delicious.
This brings me to the most famous aspect of the German Sauna System: Nakedness. The place is decidedly co-ed (even the changing rooms!), and one MUST be naked when sitting in the sauna (on a towel). You also go in the pools naked, after taking a shower to get rid of the sweat. When you are walking around between saunas or relaxing on a deck chair, the choice of nakedness is yours.
Chuckie and Elaina come to visit tomorrow! Jeremy and I are going to jet them around Germany-- we'll go to Heidelberg, München, and Berlin. Kind of ambitious (these places are not close together!), but it should be fun.

I've never heard of someone spending their anniversary this way. Leave it to you two!
tradition would state that a gift of candy or iron is appropriate for a sixth wedding anniversary. So I hope at least one naked person had been pumping iron to give you some eye candy
