Birthplace and home of fourteen years to Balder Half. Visited there for his family every two years reunion forty-five years ago. I hated it. Never went back.<br />If I remember right, I think I was on a glass platform somewhere else. It's been so long, I can't recall where. If I have something to brace me I don't mind heights.
