I love to get to the top of buildings – I just never tire of the bird’s eye view. Maybe because it’s fun to point out the things I recognize, or maybe because it re-calibrates my world view a little.
Dome climbing is no longer on the approved list of activities my heart can manage, so I have wistfully passed up climbing these last few days. But today I was gifted with a tower that had an elevator – the Campanile at St. Mark's. The 8 euro charge was a bit of a rip-off, and it was hard to justify a post climb gelato when I had felt no burn to earn it, but I got to see the view of Venice from the top. And it was good.
