STAIRS

This weekend we went to Savannah GA. It's a beautiful old city. I the last time we went to the river front I hadn't lost my sight. It was the summer of 2001. It must have been funny seeing me "walk down" the stairs to the river front. I had to hold on to the handrail with both hands ,stand sideways, and step one foot and a time. It was about a fifty-foot ladder shaped stairs. The streets are brick and stone. In some areas the spots around the stone was warn away and the stone stuck out. I felt like I was hiking. On the way up we took a different route. I always say going down is harder but I'm glad we skipped the stairs. I got my exercise in Savannah.
