Steps up to Heaven or hell of a step!




I've reported on the shopping at Los Dominicos before, but I've not described how to get there. It's a short ride on the SubCentro (subway) Red, and then up some stairs. I'm showing the stairs. Now, I have been here long enough to have acclimated to the stairs around here, and, in all fairness, this stop, as well as a few of the newer stops, have escalators and some even go as far as having an elevator. But other stops don't. There are 96 steps at one stop. That is a HELL of a lot of steps going up. Going down, an entirely different set of muscles. I have named this Steps to Heaven because Los Dominicos has a very old Catholic Church on the grounds, and people have to ascend a bunch of steps to attend.
ALSO- MOUNTAIN UPDATE- There is more snow every day, and here is a new picture. Note the palm tree in the foreground. It's funny, but the people around here don't pay attention to this, but the view still takes my breath away.
