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

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.

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...

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.
