Our most harrowing one was the Spiral cathedral in Copenhagen. Beautiful photos!

But last fall the line was soooo long at the Statue of Liberty... <br /><br />My worst story however was when the fire alarm went off while in my 17th floor office and I had to race all the way down 5 or 6 months pregnant. (Yes, pregnant with my youngest now going off to college--those memories just pop up everywhere...)Inger @ Art of Natural Livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10223491137052597240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841645566318950865.post-78705441734839517922015-06-28T20:47:14.494-04:002015-06-28T20:47:14.494-04:00What great photos - we've enjoyed climbing som...What great photos - we've enjoyed climbing some lighthouses but that's about it.

Going up inside the staircase of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, I had a panic attack half way up and didn't want to continue. My husband had to drag me up the rest of the way to make way for the people that were behind me. :DKaren (Back Road Journal)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09827391683226863495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841645566318950865.post-57759698239634860052015-06-27T08:13:08.573-04:002015-06-27T08:13:08.573-04:00Love all those steps to towers, Beth.
