Magic Well of Bad Soden

Most of you know that we are living in Bad Soden, Germany....but did you know what Bad Soden is famous for??

Well, legend has it that the water that runs from the Am Tannus mountains and down through Bad Soden has magic powers. A long time ago the villagers dug wells in order to get to this magic water. These wells are still around, but they are hidden and very hard to find. Fortunately, Jack and Stella stumbled upon one of these wells, and you can see what happened...





In reality, the water sorta smells bad and best that I can tell it doesn't really have any magic power, unless turning your hands brown qualifies. But hey, the kids think its cool. And since everything is sooo expensive here, we have resorted to going to the well on the weekends and filling up the kid's water bottles for school. So now they are super both inside and out...I'm sure the diarrhea will stop eventually...kids gotta tough up to live in Badass Soden.
