I love bridges...I like them as part of the sightseeing...

which is your favorite bridge of those you have seen in your
life?

I remember one in Firenze...I dont remember the name... but
it was beautifull... it was more a street over the river
than a bridge

i went to london & went on practically all the bridges
there...

which is the one where all the fem-nazis built? or rather,
what was the name of that? i enjoy that bridge simply
because fem-nazis built it

µwhahaha

ahhhhh the ponte vecchio....the only bridge left standing in
florence after WWII. it was the Medici's private bridge with
secret compartments etc OVER the bridge....so they could do
all their dark deeds....ehehhehe

one of my favourite bridges ....it's tall...kinda scary is
close to HOME..it's the Taos gorge bridge....it's darn scary
driving over....eeeeeek.....but i love bridges....the
physic's of bridge building is AMAZING.....it's fascinating
how much you have to consider.....wind velocity....weight of
vehicles....it has to be flexible enought to withstand all
the natural forces yet strong enough to hold peeps and cars
and stuff.......AMAZING!!

i also liked the Sydney Bay Bridge.....i got to walk along
top of it....fun stuff.....it was definately the highlight
of my trip downUNDA! =0)

*try the bridge walk EVERYONE*

Only big bridge I've ever seen is the one between New
Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. Longest in the world, it
CURVES along with the earth. And it winds so that you don't
fall asleep driving in a straight line. LOOOONNNGGG bridge.
Boring looking, too. Just long. Be funny if someone blew it
up. *evil thoughts

The best bridge Ive ever crossed was the Hoover dam, if you
could call it that. I stopped to look at all the stuff and
bought a little book about it.

Anyone who says money cant buy love has never been to Reno

do you live out by yourself, or in a more rural community?

id want to live like miles away from people... but i guess
close enough to buy food and stuff... like a 20-30 min
drive away...

im so jealous now :(

I think living in Vegas or California would be really
cool.But the problem is,its way to expensive to live out
there, everything is like double the price im paying now.
Which is expensive enough, mind you.

i live by myself.....in the mountains....about 25 minutes
from the city....so close but not TOO close. i like not
hearing traffic....not having street lights.....not hearing
my neighbors...

as martha would say....ehehhe

*IT's A GOOD THING*
