Better than a stairmaster

These are the stairs that run up just next to my apartment (the building on the left). This is the end of Calle Guachalla; the stairs go up towards the Plaza Lira and are about a city block in length, almost straight up.

I figure that an easy way to stay (or rather get into) shape is to run these stairs every morning. So. I'm gonna buy a pair of jogging pants (mornings are cold in Alto Sopocachi) and run up & down the stairs as often as I can before I puke. Keeping in mind, of course, that my apartment's at about 3,800 meters above sea level (about 12,500 feet). I should be in a amazing shape by the time I go back to Michigan in late July.

I've decided to take a break from posting about politics for a few days. In part, because I'm in too good a mood to get depressed about miners taking hostages or whatnot. Time to be optimistic for a change, eh? After all, the exchange rate's been stable (at Bs.7.83 = $US) for a whole week.
