Looks like pokeweed berries...

Going to guess ombu, a member of the pokeweeds

Loved the story on the origin of the meter. I find it much more satisfying than the origin story of the yard, which in the 12th century was fixed by King Henry I to be the distance between his nose and the thumb on his outstretched arm. Thanks

You’re right. Very sinister. It was a great day for staircases.

This whole thing is very Hitchcockian ..Vertigo, Spellbound, and …..

Juxtaposition!

Looks like a nautilus shell! ..Maybe this description of the spiral staircase will bring you a “wave of relief”..😬

Or words to that effect.

The thought crossed my mind to mention it. Actually though it was a shared failure. She loads the devices, and I’m supposed to double check afterwards. Not everything is always my fault.

Surprised the Rockydart trademark logo didn't make this post, with you forgetting to load the route to the train station on the Garmin.....again. LOL.

Bummer!

They’ll make it in the next day, but it won’t be an easy task. The right side of the door doesn’t open.

Yup. Typical. There’s a reason we only plan to stay in town for two weeks before heading south.

Yup, it’s my left knee that’s unstable.

It’s the opposite for me also, at least when I’m carrying a bike because I’m trying to keep weight off my left knee. As much as I liked this shot, it really would have been better to wait five and take the elevator.

Curving the wrong way for me. I’m terrified of slipping on stairs because it’s how I did the final partial tear of my ACL so it’s fully gone now. I prefer to carry heavy items on the right and hang on with my left hand.
