Mar 8, 2010: Salt Hotel

[xoxoxoBruce]

No, it wasn't built by a guy named Salt.
No, it wasn't built in a City named Salt.
Yes, it was built... of salt.



Looking around, it's hard to figure out why anyone would chose that desolate vacation destination.
The answer is Uyuni Flats, the world's largest salt flat, located in southwestern Bolivia.
The flats are were tourist destination with no facilities, so a void was filled in a unique way.
It's even sort of "Green", what with local materials of salt blocks and salt mush mortar.
It's even got a pool out front, if you don't have any wounds.

I can't help but wonder, with weather pattern changes, if a spell of hard rain would dissolve this place?
But this 1936 clipping says maybe not.
