Elevator
The elevator is our best friend in the machinery family. More important than a washing machine or dryer, dishwasher, tv (we only get one English-speaking channel anyhow), dvd player, even lights. We live on the 5th floor, so bringing groceries, computers, luggage, and other things, make the elevator very important to us.
Our elevator has its own personality. To begin, the ground floor is called 0. So if you ask which floor someone lives on, and they say 0, that does not mean they don't live on any floor. It means they do not need stairs or the elevator.
Our elevator accommodates a maximum of 3 people. It is sedate and even leisurely, but faithful. When you step on it, it goes DOWN at least two inches, making you think you may go crashing into the underworld if you do not show it respect.
If you forget to push any buttons, the light goes out. At night this means you have to feel around in the dark and hope you are not pushing the alarm.
After you push the button for 5 (5th floor), nothing happens for at least 5 seconds. Just when you are sure it is broken, things start to happen.
As to using it in the morning, it has a full length mirror, so you have PLENTY of time to check your personal grooming, and should emerge with no hair out of place. It is also a good place for stretching and preparing to walk. I find that when I stretch in the elevator at the beginning of the day, my back hurts less at night. Because of so much walking, and going over stone streets, my back usually hurts throughout the night, so having a slow elevator can help.
Today is a BEAUTIFUL day in Prague. Yesterday I enjoyed the Charles Bridge again, studying each statue and the story behind it. Love to all.
