It is always interesting to see the different staircases inside lighthouse towers. The metal tight spiral is common and I rather have them inside than on the outside of the tower. As I was coming back down this staircase, a tour schooner was passing by the lighthouse and fired off a cannon. It was a good thing that I didn’t jump too high and fall down the spiral stairs.

Even though the barn door looks rather worn, it still sheltered the livestock inside from storms. Today was a family reunion on my mom’s side and this barn was on her parent’s farm. My family has been working on a book with stories about the barn and life on the farm, but the barn is no longer standing as it was torn down in the last year so now it exists only in pictures and memories.
