And I did see the WWII damage, not only on the tower, but many other places as well.

Cool shot. Yours? Did you get close to the tower? If you were to walk around it, you could see the ravages of WW II along its base. Looks like a few .50 cal hits.

Oh, Robert, please review your insurance. I had a fall-strap around my waist and the cutest, most luscious young nurse holding me up. Took a while on my first "stroll" to get around the nurses station, pausing a few times to catch my breath, just sort of hugging each other and chatting. Some time in the near future, maybe I should post my scar(s). Note to self: ...Gotta beef myself up a bit... You had a walker? …After open-heart?

Hope your recovery is quick and easy! Think up a badass tattoo to go over the scar, and don't watch political news for a few weeks... Gave me an error when I tried to respond to the thread…

What really got me, though, was the river that ran through the city. Maybe 20 feet wide, but the engineering was remarkable. A river, turned on its side, so it would take up less space as it rushed through the town. You could walk right up to the lip of the river and look down to its great depth -- or twisted width. Crystal-clear water. Genius. The tower with the trees at the top (a bit of a climb) was cool. What really got me, though, was the river that ran through the city.
