We climbed all the way to the very top - steps, steps, steps, steps, steps! In the visitors center Beatrice rented headset tour guides for each one of us and said she would meet us at the end of our tour. We spent at least a good hour going through the place. Fantastic!
I told Beatrice that my great-grandfather and his daughter (my grandmother) were born on the Isle of Jersey. She said that on clear days Jersey can be seen. I looked out over the ocean, but could not distinguish the island. How moving it was to be so tantalizingly close to their birthplace.
