And thank goodness it is too, for otherwise you wouldn't be able to take us on the same adventures.

You're much braver than I am crossing a 1000 year old bridge I would have never done it. Easier to swim across water then get conked on the head as you and debris fall. Do you know how luck you are to be surrounded by all that history?
