I want them to be better now! Now! And, yes, I do realize that sound bratty.
Lovely story. Lovely eyelashes.
It had me shivering, 'cause I'm afraid of heights.

[thegrrrl2002]

Thank you! I couldn't resist putting in that bit about the eyelashes. *g*

Oh, I don't like heights at all, either. I got the willies just imagining their situation. And, as Rodney says, it's really just a healthy sense of self-preservation. There is no need to be looking down over railings like that.

Absolutely no need at all, indeed! Do you know the Dome of Cologne? In Germany? It's around my corner, and every single schoolyear we just had to climb it. Grmmblmumble. And when one finally reaches the top of the thousands and thousands of stairs *pantpant and not in a good way* one is kind of forced to look down all those meters one climbed. *swoon*
Aynway, am still smitten by your description of their eyes. :)

I googled it up, and gosh, it's beautiful! How cool to live near such a thing! But um, yeah, I understand about the climbing. When I was a kid we visited the Statue of Liberty, and climbed up her crown. Eeep! The torch was closed at the time, thank goodness. Those kinds of climbs always seem like a good idea at first, but then I get to the top and I'm all nervous and scared.

But the Dome, it's way cool. *g*

Yeah, the Dome is cool. The Hohe Straße (Shopping mile in the Old Town) begins at the dome. So every shopping trip starts with being awestruck soon to be followed by Ives Rocher and H&M. =D
The downside of it is that every morning at 6 o'clock when I have to leave for university class I see it. Associations can be bitches.
