"It isn't the mountains ahead that wear you out, it is the grain of sand in your shoe." author unknown
But first I had to climb these 70 steps. Wouldn't have been bad except that they were not spaced evenly. I was panting by the time I got to the top.
Here I am at the top of the hill of the Tower. Now I only have 120 stairs more to go.
When I got inside the Tower, it took me a minute to find the stairs. I was expecting wide cement steps.
But instead there was a spiral staircase encased in a cement. I realized that if I made it to the top I would be hyperventilating from claustrophobia and not from exertion.
Would it be worth it?
I think so. The view was fantastic, but it was still the satisfaction of having climbed to the top that made it worthwhile. Then I just had to survive the trip back down.
