Why was the trek sort of fun ?
Yes , I had to stop often , but that was the plan all along - up 2 flights , stop and cool completely down ( read a page , maybe ) , fan myself madly , then up another couple of flights ... But even this trek was sort of fun because I was n't alone . There were lots of people going up and down , and we traded ' Where were you when ... ' stories or ' How far up are you going ? ' stories .
