When I disposed of The Nighthawk (sigh!!) it still had the sticker on the windscreen to say that I had paid my Swiss Road Tax for my stay there about 5 years ago. I was intrigued by the possibility of a 'gate to nowhere'. The concept of 'nowhere' is something I find hard to imagine. Sounds rather exciting.

Years ago, I would not have thought twice about climbing that tower. But the older I get, the more afraid I am, even when it is unreasonable. That tower was perfectly safe and has been withstanding winds much stronger than what we experienced, and yet it took O.K. climbing ahead of me to make me overcome my fear.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-20579890636666883342017-09-25T17:02:49.047+02:002017-09-25T17:02:49.047+02:00I am glad you had such a lovely vacation, and glad...I am glad you had such a lovely vacation, and glad that you are home again and blogging again. I would have been quite uneasy up in that tower in wind! Paul and I were in a fire tower the summer before we married and I was sure we would die any second! I thought the whole thing would collapse.Thickethouse.wordpresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17187303460677067276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-52196419652074113482017-09-25T06:36:34.839+02:002017-09-25T06:36:34.839+02:00Thank you, Mary!

She didn't stay long and came back down with us, I think she only took one picture when she dared to let go of the handrail!Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-30809770298623960992017-09-25T06:33:30.490+02:002017-09-25T06:33:30.490+02:00Thank you, Jennifer!
