It is not listed as one of the wonders of the world, but the Golden Gate Bridge is incredible and impressive in person. It opened in 1937 and at that time was the longest and tallest bridge in the world. It is a symbol of California and one of the most recognizable landmarks in our country.
Thirty-nine years ago Monika and I were on a boat that went underneath the bridge, but this time I was going to walk on the bridge. My friend Rob and I took about an hour walk to the bridge and this is what it looked like from the ground level.
As we got closer to the bridge the view of course got better and better. Finally reaching the top there were people walking, biking and lots of cars going both ways over the bridge. The bike lane was also the walking lane. I'm not very good with heights and so I took some pictures and we walked a few minutes before turning around.
Our walk back to the car was only 45 minutes and if it wasn't for the high price we would have taken a Waymo, a driverless car. Rob took the above selfie and the below picture of the bridge I took from The Walt Disney Museum the day before.
