Since neither of us have class on Thursday, Maddie and I went to Sauvabelin Tower. It appropriately and ominously began to rain as we approached.
Above is the said Sauvabelin Tower from the ground. It was built rather recently, in 2003 and stands 35 meters high. My guide book also pointed out that it "is constructed from wood sourced from the city's forests."
The tower is consisted of two spiral staircases that intertwine but do not join together - consequently, there is an up-way and a down-way. This concept was designed by Leonardo DaVinci for Chateau de Chambord, in the Loire Valley.
(Above) Good God, and we finally made it to the top!
