I bet your book is very interesting, because of the importance salt played in everything. My Dutch last name comes from the people who refined the salt that was found in the salt mines in Germany. My ancestor with that name was German. He settled here in 1648. It's a small world, isn't it? You reading a book about salt and me having that connection.

Wow, 1648! What area were your people from? I'm sure you'd enjoy it! It's out in paperback too. The author is Mark Kurlansky. I'm really enjoying it, all sorts of things I didn't know, and he's a lovely writer, too.
