Kathy visits St Stevens and affixes herself to the stone!!
Well . . . . I don't think the video of me describing what happens really does it justice. Robert and I were touring Vienna's pride and joy - St. Stephen's Cathedral. One of the stops was to go look at the bell tower and a view of Vienna. Well, Robert bought us tickets and both of us went up in this little elevator with this nice Viennese man. The door opens and you have to walk out onto a grate surrounded by a metal fence that is hanging off of one of the spires of St. Stephen's overlooking the roof. I was not prepared for this. I walked out a few feet and just froze. Robert asked only once if I wanted to go up the ten flights of stairs that would bring me to the view but I declined. He realized after the fact that he could have never gotten me down ( I would have had to keep my eyes open to walk down the stairs and I could not have done that). When he came down, I was still clinging to the side of the spire.
He kindly walked me to the elevator. What a scare!!! HAD TO HAVE WINE AFTER THAT. His biggest regret is that he did not videotape me clinging to the side. Wants me to re-create it. I think not.
