Oh, GAWD - now my FEET are flushing!

In downtown Hamburg, there's St. Michaelis Kirche. My wife and a colleague's wife were going up the lift for (what I thought) were Bach recital tickets, but when it opened, there I was, facing Planet Earth from 130 feet, with a short fence and little else. My wife was shocked and our friend totally perplexed at my wish to get the hell out of there, 'cause she had NO idea of my fear of heights (or depths, whichever.) I was as green as copper roofing, and embarassed because school children were running up and down the belltower steps with not a care in the world. Will never forget, and will NEVER go back.

Crouquet fields are nice...
