A last visit to the old Champlain bridge
A party of folks visited the old Champlain Bridge on Saturday, taking pictures and looking over at the new bridge nearby, which later changed its colours, a facility it has always had but has not yet been used to mark any particular event.

Oof! Wish I had found out about this earlier. Would love to have gone and now all the outings are complets.

Daniel, they filled up fast. I tried to sign up too, but no spaces left.

Ah, well that does make me feel a tiny bit better. I hate to be “that guy,” but I figured it was worth a shot to send a pleading email asking if they had thought to offer more spots in English or French, so I did. Made me feel I had done all I could, at least.

The color change I noticed coming into town one Monday morning on the bus. It was pretty cool and made it look 21st century- like. Too bad everyone else was staring into a phone to notice

I knew about it, but pictured it as opening the bridge for people to walk across. That would allow for a lot of people.
But the tv news last night showed people getting off a bus, with a tour guide, and that obviously limited how many could visit when it happened over only two days.
