To get to the start of the stairs you have to climb a metal ladder that isn't very secure, up one level after that it is all metal see-through steps.

At least all the organized tours are done and everyone feels more secure with their driving here. Michel and Louise have taken over as temporary leaders and have the Green Angels in front of them so it is all working out. Soon they will be at the beach and will have more time in one spot as well so that is where we should catch up to them.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-75164865791355006092018-03-12T09:53:51.648-04:002018-03-12T09:53:51.648-04:00It is sort of nice to have a little time on our ow...It is sort of nice to have a little time on our own but personally we would rather be doing our job and be with the group.<br /><br />There will be a little more on the pyramid in today's post.
