Second Post Bridges

Well then this day is going along without a hitch. Wife, #1 Daughter and myself walked over the bridge and back. The bridge that connects Lido Key with downtown Sarasota. Which reminded me of the time John Gaines and I walked the Brooklyn Bridge both ways from the Brooklyn side.

After reading David McCullough's book on the Brooklyn Bridge. I was wondering what it would look like up close. Like everything, in person is the best way to experience it. After all these years the bridge looks healthy and strong. The upper walking deck is the best view of lower New York city, the east river and all around. If you ever find yourself in New York walk the Brooklyn Bridge and take your time at it. Think of the men who built it, suffering the hard work to construct such a solid stone suspension bridge in a age when stuff like this very unusual.

More on bridges later.
