Today’s Photos (in France)
Marissa will be posting photos and details of her Munich trip soon. In the meantime here’s a few shots of the Millau Viaduc which is a large, beautiful bridge near the town of Millau about 2 hours east of Giroussens. The bridge is purported to be the tallest vehicular bridge in the world—one of its pillars is actually taller than the Eiffel tower and almost as tall as the Empire State building.
For those of you with an interest in engineering you might want to look at the following URL which has lots of information on how the Millau Viaduc was built.
How many days to go?

Viaduc de Millau was only opened to traffic 2.5 years ago…

8 days to go until we return to Canada and Marissa has started to organize things and is slowly packing.
