It's The Climb That Matters (a long climb!)

   I know this post is coming a bit earlier, (Sat. night as opposed to Sun.) but I will be out most of Sunday and don't envision myself writing this tomorrow night at 11:30 hehe.  =)
  I got today's title from Miley Cyrus's song The Climb. The song just seems perfect for the mini trip I took earlier this week where I climbed 150+ stairs to get to the top of a monument! I was returning something to the library and I figured I might as well try and make my way to the top since I was right next to it. Before adventuring to the top, I spend some time around the huge fort around it. That day I had chosen to wear my favorite top from my last haul. Haha, whenever I get new clothes, I am always so eager to wear them.

     I love the off white color of this top. On the front of the shirt are stripes and on the back, the shirt has a solid color. I think this is a perfect shirt for the summer because of the fabric it is made from and the way it fits. The shirt is super lightweight and has sort of a boxy fit to it. This top is pretty casual which means it can be worn almost anywhere including school! The one thing that I disliked a bit was the fact that the too was slightly see through, but that is okay because I love everything else about it.

  Since I was only anticipating a short 5 min walk to the library, I didn't go out of my way with accessories. In fact, I forgot the bracelet I was planning to wear.. =0 Along with my shirt here, I chose to wear a pair of gray colored shorts and some jeweled flip flops. I love these flip flops that I am wearing because of how comfy they are in comparison to my other ones. These fit like a glove and even though my feet are a bit "broken" (I have a few blisters and a black toe..) by my running, these flip flops don't cause me pain even when climbing the 150+ stairs! 

Inside the monument!!!!!!

These two pictures were taken about halfway up the monument. Because of how tall and narrow the monument itself is, the stairs go up in a mind dizzying spiral pattern. At first I thought I would be able to make it the top without a break, but I eventually gave in and stopped for a moment to give my legs some rest time and so I wouldn't pass out from all that spinning around hehe.

Reaching the top

 The picture above was taken when I finally reached the top of the monument! Despite what I had thought, the top is actually quite nice and well lit. I don't know why, but the stairs were super dark with an occasional light ever 15-20 stairs. It was quite a relief reaching the top, but at the same time scary for me because of how high up I was. I have a slight fear of heights... but it wasn't that bad. I think I was mesmerized by the fact that I could see so much of my town from where I was standing.

The monument + all the lovely sights from up top!!
