Red letter day
Oct. 8th, 2009 10:39 pmDo you know what I did today? I hope you're sitting down because it's pretty exciting: I went up the City by the Sea's FIRST EVER ESCALATOR.
A bit later I went down the other side, but, eh, it was old hat by then.
Fun fact: escalators give me vertigo. I'm fine with stationary heights -- standing on a cliff or a tall building or on a very steep flight of stairs -- but put me on an automatically moving incline and I go all light-headed and dizzy. And so it was today, but I just closed my eyes and in a blinking I was back onto the shiny, still floor. It's not a big escalator.
After that, I went for a walk along the beach path and took a photo of a thing, as shown at right.
And then I came home and made a chocolate coconut cake. So, yes, it's been a big day.
