When we were searching for a new home here in Germany, one of our requirements was that we didn't want a lot of stairs up to the place. We knew we'd have some stairs, but the flights within our unit are much better than having to take three or four flights up just to get inside. Carrying groceries in is much easier. The last time we lived in Germany, we had an elevator ride up to the fourth floor. Thankful for the elevator, but there was the possibility of it breaking. Fortunately it never really broke. So, why, then, the photo of the Eiffel Tower? Gustave Eiffel built a small apartment in the top of the tower. On one hand, it was neat to see. You would definitely have the best view and the most privacy. But I can't imagine climbing all those stairs. I wonder if he liked the solitude. The next time you complain about the flight or two of stairs in your building or house, just remember, you could live at the top of the Eiffel.
