There is no greater healer than salt water. Swimming in the ocean enhances the immune system, hydrates skin, and boosts circulation. Seawater that is rich in magnesium also has been shown to relax muscles and helps induce sleep. And with swimming one of the greatest forms of exercise, you’re better off paddling around the ocean than in the pool.</div>

And it was wonderful all over again.<br /> <br /> The Eiffel Tower was unexpectedly closed this day, for a strike. Tourists were disappointed of course, and being turned away.
