THE VERY TOP

Of course when I got up there- it was a rush! PLUS I had absolutely NO one telling me what to do- and that it was dangerous to spin in circles while videoing myself- So you get to see one of my creations! Its hard to hear me but basically I'm saying something to the effect of being on the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa :) At first I didn't realize that we could actually get to the VERY top- but then I saw people crawling into this 2 foot opening in the marble and then mounting tiny little circular steps that went up up up (straight up practically) to the very top of the tower- I've gotta tell you people were either terrified up there or acting like they were walking on the sidewalk below. Fortunately I fell into the second category which is funny given my inner ear imbalance- but one thing that's gotten for me is that I often feel off-balance even sitting in a chair- so being at the top Pisa- and feeling vertigo- just old hat to me-

There was a young guy from Germany up there- I didn't even mean to take his picture- but after I snapped this shot, he (red shorts) looked at me with a look of humor, fear (much more fear) and exasperation as he in English, "THEES IS CRAUGHZY!!!"

So I have to put him in here :)
