Challenge: Heights! Discovery: I walked across this wooden path to the ladder at the far end of the peak of the Basilica and climbed up to the outdoor walkway. You have no idea how high up it was! The climb down the ladder took my breath away, but I knew that it was worth the view and my ability to say "I did it" at the end!
