Building a Bamboo Bridge

Dapitan, 2008

This bamboo bridge was being built to take diners across the river to a new seafood restaurant on the outskirts of Dapitan, in the southern Philippine province of Mindanao. Linked to Louis' Sunday Bridges.

    A nice way to walk off your dinner on the way back over the bridge, too!

    It's graceful looking and a nice change from the usual for the Bridges meme ....

    thank you again for the world tour!

    It's been fun reading a few of your posts at once.
