Day 16 - La Escalera

In this ramshackle cement building, elderly and children are among those who use this staircase day and night.  Then they walk one of two planks, that barely cover the flooring frame, to their apartments.   Walking up a spiral staircase with no rail was not as nerve wracking for me as carefully moving across the second story to an apartment while looking at the the floor below me and, to my side, no barrier to the courtyard below.
