Neat, huh? So, today I went up this dome. About 110 meters high, should have been an easy conquest but I am a child of (some) of my people. Yay, those same people who marveled at stairways at Mandala house and got dizzy with the height of 12 steps (+-)!!! You can imagine that when I went all the way up the Carrilion it was more than enough for me. I tried to inconspicuously hold on to Folkert and wondered if I would survive should one of us be a terrorist and threaten to send us plummeting. Of course, the fact that I was the only Bantu there today did cross my mind...that I was conspicuous! But hey, here is to me for doing something new, going up so high by choice and calming my fears. Here is to you Folkert, Here is to you the dome! Next time Eiffel??
Resisting the stereotypes.
