The Glass Sundial Bridge, Redding CA




Well, the road was as narrow yesterday as the really old byways in SA, with no shoulder and many repairs, and in many places it seems to be falling off the mountain, roadworks all over, SO nerve-wracking!

The Sacramento River RV Park is pretty, full of trees newly clad in their spring greens,
and the river flows quietly past.
Sid did a great job and is getting used to the rig now - Michael Schumaker watch out, here we come!!



It was wonderful to relax after the hectic 6 hour drive, and we were in bed early.

Today we have been to see the glass Sundial Bridge, designed by architect Santiago Calatrava, a mixture of architecture, engineering genius and artistic imagination. The Sundial Bridge is amazing, the floor is made of steel and GLASS! and it throws a shadow that tells the time accurately at the summer solstice! Stephen, you would LOVE it!!
