The End of a Bridge

October 17, 2015 by David T. Allen

How does a community celebrate a bridge’s impending implosion?

In Greenfield, they throw a party.

The most interesting part was you could enter a raffle for $10/ticket to “push the button” that brings the bridge down this December.

Japan Day 7: “Don’t Stare at the Monkeys in the Eye”
It was hard to believe we had another week in Kyoto, but there was still a lot to do.

Japan Day 3: Thousands of Torii Gates
Most of day 3 was in the fox shrine, Fushimi Inari Taisha, where we hiked mountain paths dotted with thousands of vermilion torii gates. Afterwards, we visited the zen gardens at Tofukuji. To rest, we took a dip in a public bath, where I intentionally got zapped with electricity.
