99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall….

Ha ha, got your attention, didn’t I?  This post is actually about the 120 stairs between the street and our apartment…….which looks something like this when you are going up!  NEVER ENDING….

I’m determined to walk up AT LEAST least once a day…four floors of 25 winding stairs each….but you DO have alternatives!

To give you some perspective, here is the view from our apartment door on the 5th floor looking inside, and the view looking the other way, outside our apartment door, which is literally face to face with the elevator.  [We are mighty THANKFUL we have one, as most 100-year-old buildings do not! ]

    

INTRODUCING THE WORLD’S SMALLEST ELEVATOR!

                    

Option A                                                     Option B (our actual staircase, with elevator squeezed in the middle)

I put my slippers into the elevator so that you can see exactly how much space we are talking about.  YEP!  About the width of two coffins…but there ARE two choices!  So pick your poison!

SO NOW – BACK TO THE BEER  Going up the stairs yesterday, I thought about the American folksong “99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall.” (The link may be a stretch for some of you, but that’s how my mind works)….Get it, get it?  99 Bottles…..99 steps…..silent singing helps to not focus on the muscles whining for mercy!

AND TO WIND UP  (Yes – pun intended this time.  Groaning allowed.) The following is a really catching country-style version to make you smile for the day…..

Have a great day!  Bonne journée!
