Under the water

FLORENCE, SC - - Friday we crossed one of the most unique bridges in the world, the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel. This engineering marvel, built to allow use of two widely separate shipping channels comprises three long bridges, two mile long tunnels and four man-made islands in the Bay as portals for a 17+ mile long drive over/under water. The bridge-tunnel connects the DelMarVa Penninsula - - which we wandered down from Annapolis - - to Hampton Roads/Norfolk/Virginia Beach, Va.

Coming off a bridge out in the bay to enter a tunnel going under the bay might cause a temporary shortness of breath...of course I'm only speculating that something like that might happen.
