The 426 stairs I didn't want to go down

This wraps up this little sub-gallery of my husband's pictures taken from the bell tower of Sagrada Familia. I thought he did a great job! In retrospect, I wish I had gone up myself since I learned belatedly I could have taken the elevator down (in this tower only). My husband said, though, that if I had done that, I would have missed all the great views from the first third of the staircase. The last two thirds, he said, I would have hated ;-), and so would my knee.

In case anybody missed it, this is a short video of the bells tolling, right above my husband's head:

Very pulse quickening view, Helen. I don't think that number of stairs seems all that appealing either.

Not as bad as the Oxford church tower Mark C and I went up and down on Saturday, only just room to get our bodies up, they must have been small in those bygone days!
