Morning walks with Seiko

A few months ago we walked across the San Diego River / Mission Bay bridge. Today we walked across again, but on a new bridge, just opened for traffic in the past couple of days. Ignoring the different colors of the sky, you can see lots of difference in the pedestrian accomodations.

(We talked about walking through SD International Airpo...
