One of the world’s longest straight staircases, Jacob’s Ladder, was an original way to get out – 699 steps each 11 inches high – and it’s a workout.</p> <p>People who live here call themselves “Saints” and pronounce their island “sent-uhl-LEEN-ah.” It’s famous of course for where the Brits exiled Napoleon after Waterloo. His residence and gardens on a high promontory, Longwood House, is preserved with original furnishings and his death bed. Dying in 1821, he was buried in a beautiful peaceful glen nearby (in 1840 he was reinterred at Les Invalides in Paris).</p> <p>After climbing the Ladder and visiting Longwood, you’d want to refresh yourself at one of Jamestown’s pubs, where local Saints will be happy to hoist a pint with you. And don’t pass up a visit to the <a href="https://sthelenaisland.info/st-helena-distillery/">Saint Helena Distillery</a>, the world’s remotest distillery, to learn how Head Distiller Paul Hickling makes his memorable Prickly Pear Whiskey, White Lion Spiced Rum, and Jamestown Gin – all in unique stepping stone bottles in honor of Jacob’s Ladder. <em>(</em><em>Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #46 </em>Photo ©Jack Wheeler<em>) </em></p><span class="ecae-button ecae-buttonskin-white" style="text-align:left" > <a class="ecae-link" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/climbing-jacobs-ladder-on-the-island-of-saints-3/"><span>Read more...</span></a></span></div></div> </article> <article id="post-32533" class="art-post art-article post-32533 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized" style=""> <h2 class="art-postheader entry-title"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/keeping-your-sanity-by-knowing-the-best-mental-exercise-is-physical/" rel="bookmark" title="KEEPING YOUR SANITY BY KNOWING THE BEST MENTAL EXERCISE IS PHYSICAL">KEEPING YOUR SANITY BY KNOWING THE BEST MENTAL EXERCISE IS PHYSICAL</a></h2> <div class="art-postheadericons art-metadata-icons"><span class="art-postdateicon"><span class="date">Published</span> <span class="entry-date updated" title="7:32 pm">October 18, 2021</span></span> | <span class="art-postauthoricon"><span class="author">By</span> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/author/guest-author/" title="View all posts by Dr. Joel Wade">Dr. Joel Wade</a></span></span></div> <div class="art-postcontent clearfix"><div class="ecae" style=""><p><a href="https://www.tothepointnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Walk-Fast.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-32534" src="https://www.tothepointnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Walk-Fast.png" alt="walk-fast" width="375" height="361" /></a>As I write this, I’m training for the Water Polo Masters World Championships in Kumamoto, Japan next May.

They appointed him the first Bishop of Kition (present day Lanarca), where he lived for another 30 years, then upon his second death was buried for the last time.</p> <p>A church was built over his marble sarcophagus which has undergone many resurrections itself over the last two millennia.  But here it stands today after all those ravages of time, <em>Agios Lazaros</em>, the Church of St. Lazarus, over his still-preserved sarcophagus.  On every <em>Lazarus Saturday </em>(eight says before Easter), an icon of St. Lazarus is taken in procession through the streets of Lanarca.

When our oldest son Brandon was six years old, I took him with me to the North Pole. It was my 14th expedition there, and as always, we stopped to visit friends at Canada’s northernmost community, the Inuit hunting village of Grise Fiord on Ellesmere Island. Brandon thought it would be cool to sleep in an igloo, which the Inuit do only when they’re hunting seals or walrus far out on the ice.</p> <p>So the villagers happily complied, showing him how they built one, carving out blocks of wind-blown snow, shaping and placing them in an inward-sloped spiral with one block on top, and packing snow as mortar between the blocks. When it was bedtime – still daylight with 24-hour sunshine by April – they lined the inside with caribou skins, which shed like crazy with hairs everywhere but sure are warm. Snuggled into our arctic down sleeping bags, we slept like stones.</p> <p>It was an experience both of us will never forget. Never pass up an opportunity to have an adventure with your kids they’ll always remember. <em>(Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #50 </em>Photo ©Jack Wheeler<em>)</em></p><span class="ecae-button
