Like many kilometres long. Neat to drive over, though. <br /><br />And Portugal is great. Very friendly people.Bryan Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09555071335245492790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423907132654588993.post-67073826753289518172011-09-06T12:20:16.817-04:002011-09-06T12:20:16.817-04:00@ Jeffrey

Question - is that a suspension bridge in the photo? (you say it's modern) It's very faint, like a image behind mist.<br /><br />I visited Fort Jefferson in the Dry Tortugas (off Key West, Fla.) a few years ago and we took a picture like that from one of the cannon openings there.<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing more photos.D.G.

It's a little hard to see in a photo this size, but in the background you can see the magnificent (and modern) Vasco Da Gama Bridge.<br /><br />The tower's pretty cool. I'll try to post some more pictures of it this week.Bryan Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09555071335245492790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423907132654588993.post-63114058083317472102011-09-06T07:29:48.450-04:002011-09-06T07:29:48.450-04:00What's it looking out on?
