Part 23: Saalburg

March 10, 1991 "Partly cloudy – small rain off and on:
Finally made it to the Roman Fortress. “

The site was littered with ruins. Many had been excavated. Keys, tools, pottery, glass, jewelry, buckets, dishes, sandals, statues and mosaics, were just a few of the many treasures on display. We were recognized by some of the locals as we walked along the Limes and were given a replica roman coin to commemorate our visit. There were no towers but many scratchy trees rising to dazzling heights. I much prefer climbing towers which, barring a fall, cause less abrasions.
