The Tower




A favorite pastime for residents and tourists alike is climbing "the tower" which is a wooden structure that rises steeply into the air. Don't have statistics on its height, but it's a looong way up. The small photos give you an idea of the number of steps and, of course, the wonderful view after you finally reach the top. Along the way there are benches on several platforms for climbers to rest, and I took full advantage of them!
