Visegrád bridge

In the June issue, page 50, Kit Lane of Douglas, Michigan, asked if anyone had recently seen the old bridge in Visegrád, Bosnia. I’m happy to report that I saw that wonderful bridge on June 3, ’05, on an extensive tour of the Balkans. The bridge is in excellent condition, and if it did suffer any damage in the Bosnian wars, I certainly did not detect any except for broken protective glass around the lights that are on the walking side of the bridge.

I certainly agree with Kit that it is a beautiful bridge, and now I want to read the book that Kit recommended, “The Bridge on the Drina” by Ivo Andric!
