Let's get muddy

[topum]

On the shore of Romania's heliothermal and salty Bear Lake, which is unique in Europe (being both heliothermal and salty).

The water and the mud from this forest mountain lake apparently are known for their strong therapeutic qualities.

When I was taking this picture I remember thinking whether activists fighting to ban covering one's skin with black mud because of possible racist connotations could appear one day.

I so love seeing all the speedos. I wear squarecut ones here even though it's scandalous for someone my size to do it.

Oh man, Romanians are into speedos big time. Especially the older generation but many young ones too. That's the only thing that qualifies as swimwear there apparently. Some are very g-stringy. We were at a beach there once and it was like "WTF?" ).
