For Kylie

Bridges where I've lived...

A cute little drawbridge in the town I grew up in... Boynton Beach, Florida

The Royal Gorge Bridge in Canon City, Colorado, about 1 hour west of Colorado Springs. It is the world's highest suspension bridge, at 1,053 ft. (321 meters) above the Arkansas River. It was not designed for transportation purposes, but is a tourist attraction that can be crossed by foot.

The Piscataqua River Bridge in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. It connects the state to its neighbor Maine.

The Leonard Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge in Boston, Massachusetts

The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California

Karen... the Zakim Bridge is part of I-93 so you can't walk across. During rush hour, traffic is so slow that walking would likely be faster.

Kylie... you deserve more than your own post, but that's all I can give right now. That little bridge in Florida brings back so many memories.

I'm scared of the Colorado bridge. I don't know if I'd be able to walk that one...

I've stood where that last photo was taken.

Have you been over there to check out the old WW2 forts yet? I recommend...

What is it that bridges symbolize? I forgot. There's gotta be something there.

Megan... no WWII forts for me yet, but have been to Alcatraz. That's pretty cool.

RC: What is it that trains and tunnels symbolize?
