The Most Spectacular Bridge in the US of A

GG Bridge The Most Spectacular Bridge in the US of A

I heart the Golden Gate Bridge. It’s kinda funny, because I have pretty much always taken it for granted until recently.

I grew up in Berkeley and had a perfect view of it (that is unless it was covered with fog which is was about 75% of the time) until I moved from that house at age 23. It was just something that was always there, and I never really thought about it. But last summer when I was in London, we had family come out from the south to house sit. One of them had never been to the Bay Area, and in fact had only been to California (L.A.) once. She was totally excited and awe-struck by the bridge, and I realized then that it really was something spectacular. It was exactly like when I first saw the London Bridge or Tower of London, or hell lets be honest, ANYTHING in London!

She’s a beaut. icon smile The Most Spectacular Bridge in the US of A

    Love everything about the GG, except for driving on it… Stories like the one tonight where some Mercedes caused a 4 car pileup and it lasted for an hour scare me :(
