Sauna and an ice hole in the lake.
Finnish people have some strange hobbies. One of these is swimming in the ice hole. After the short visit in freezing water it’s time to go to sauna, where usual temperature is about 70-100 degrees Celsius. We crazy Finns…
For my Friday afternoon relaxation, I visited the wellness spa in the crew hotel for the first time, a 300m² ground-floor room designed in the style of a beer factory, enjoying a sauna session in the hotel's shiny copper drum (on the right; temperature 140-212 °F / 60-100 °C in the Finnish sauna), saving the cooler-temperature wooden barrel drum (back on the right; humid atmosphere and maximum temperature ± 50-60 °C in the bio-sauna, a modern alternative to the traditional Finnish sauna) experience for the next afternoon; I also sipped water swinging in a swing in the relaxation area (center of the photo), as well as working out in the fitness room with its Technogym equipment in this facility, first in the city under the new Deutsche Hospitality umbrella for the company's three hotel brands
Als ich gelesen habe, wollte ich seitdem wissen und habe es heute endlich herausgefunden, wie wohl ein Ort in München ausschauen würde, der modernen Bavarian Lifestyle mit dem Chic eines Weltklassehotels zusammenbringt: in München bietet dieses Hotel für unsere Besatzung, sowie für Gäste aus aller Welt ebenso wie trendbewusste Münchner an, „Hospitality made in Germany“ auf höchstem Niveau zu genießen; besonders die Wellnessoase im Stil einer Bier-Manufaktur gibt viel Raum und Inspiration, um die bayerischen Metropole mit allen Sinnen zu erleben

Munich, Germany – 2019NOV27-DEC01 – My 1st 5-Day Trip:
My very first 5-day trip, and one of my all-time best-ever trips!
I was so excited when I found I had been awarded this 5-day that I couldn't sleep for 2 nights, but then tripped and fell and broke my arm, a radial head fracture; however, I focused on my healing, and the orthopedic hospital released me to full duty as of 26NOV.
Now 4 weeks to the day had passed from my arm-breaking fall to working the Charlotte NC to Munich Germany transatlantic flight...

Captured in a public swimming pool which was shut down years ago. The moorish architecture is rather unique. Fortunately, there is being taken care of this building, however, it would cost several millions of Euros to restore the bath. Funds are low, at least the roof could be renewed to protect the building in its current state.

This adult Killdeer (Charadrius vociferus), along with other species of birds, liked to stand on rows of fermenting silage/animal waste piles which were dumped/stored from the livestock maintained at BARC. The waste heat from these mounds were sending off clouds of steam. I was never sure if birds were attracted to the warmer temperatures (it was a cold rainy day) or to feed on the large numbers of nematoceran flies reared within these sewage piles.

Aquest edifici, un dels més ben preservats de Birkenau (Auschwitz II) era el conegut com Central Sauna, de fet l'edifici de recepció pels presoners destinats a ingressar al camp per a morir-hi treballant, en comptes de ser enviats inmediatament a les cambres de gas. Aquí els rapaven, examinaven i tatuaven. En qualsevol cas, la intenció dels botxins era que tots els presoners hi morissin, a Auschwitz.
Auschwitz. Què més puc dir més enllà d’aquest toponim en alemany d’una vila polonesa. Tots ja sabeu què fou, de 1940 a 1945. Aquí es creà un camp de concentració per la explotació salvatge i mortal dels enemics del III Reich. Però sobretot a partir de 1943 i a la seva extensió (i futur camp independent) de Birkenau: l’extermini dels jueus europeus a nivell industrial.
Birkenau, o Auschwitz II, fou la expansió massiva del camp original (després conegut com Auschwitz I) a partir de 1942, inicialment amb el proposit d'explotar l'influx massiu de presoners de guerra sovietics, però que aviat va canviar cap a camp d'extermini per als jueus europeus, francesos, holandesos, grecs i sobretot, polonesos i hongaresos. Les cambres de gas de Birkenau començaren a funcionar el març de 1942 i no pararen fins octubre de 1944. Finalment, el camp fou alliberat el 21 de gener de 1945. Els nazis hi assassinaren més de 1.300.000 persones, la gran majoria just baixar dels trens, i la gran majoria, jueus...

=====================================
This building, one of the best preserved in Birkenau (Auschwitz II) was known as the Central Sauna. In fact it was the reception building for prisoners destined to enter the camp to wor to the death there, instead of being sent immediately to the gas chambers Here they were shaved, examined and tattooed. In any case, the intention of the executioners was that all the prisoners would die there, in Auschwitz.
Auschwitz. What else can I say beyond this toponym in German of a Polish town. You all know what it was, from 1940 to 1945. Here a concentration camp was created for the savage and deadly exploitation of the enemies of the Third Reich. But especially from 1943 and in its extension (and future independent camp) of Auschwitz II - Birkenau. The extermination of European Jews at an industrial level.
Birkenau, or Auschwitz II, was the massive expansion of the original camp (later known as Auschwitz I) from 1942, initially with the purpose of exploiting the massive influx of Soviet prisoners of war, but which soon changed to a camp of extermination for the European Jews, French, Dutch, Greek and above all, Polish and Hungarian. The Birkenau gas chambers began operating in March 1942 and did not stop until October 1944. Finally, the camp was liberated on January 21, 1945. The Nazis murdered more than 1,300,000 people there, the vast majority just of the trains, and the great majority, Jews...

The Palace, a complex of several connected and adjacent buildings and courtyards, was built by several generations on a wide artificial terrace during four century period. The Palace was used by the Mayan aristocracy for bureaucratic functions, entertainment, and ritualistic ceremonies. The Palace is located in the center of the ancient city.
The Corbel arch seen in a hallway at the Palace
Within the Palace there are numerous sculptures and bas-relief carvings that have been conserved. The Palace most unique and recognizable feature is the four-story tower known as The Observation Tower. The Observation Tower like many other buildings at the site exhibit a mansard-like roof. The A-shaped Corbel arch is an architectural motif observed throughout the complex. The Corbel arches require a large amount of masonry mass and are limited to a small dimensional ratio of width to height providing the characteristic high ceilings and narrow passageways. The Palace was equipped with numerous large baths and saunas which were supplied with fresh water by an intricate water system. An aqueduct, constructed of great stone blocks with a three-meter-high vault, deviates the Otulum River to flow underneath the main plaza. The Palace is the largest building complex in Palenque measuring 97 meters by 73 meters at its base.
