Coming back, I snoozed in the passenger seat as she drove. No big deal, until I learned months later that she is absolutely *terrified* off crosssing bridges. She performed an act of incredible heroism simply getting across that monstrosity, and I never even batted an eyelash. I'm such an insensitive bastard.

My favorite route took me across both the Cape May ferry and the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. It was always an amazing drive/ride. The trip I most remember involved an amourous encounter during the ferry ride. I want to get in my car right now and go again.

And every single time, there was a storm in the middle of the bridge. I remember it has U turns every few kilometers and storm warning signs all over the place. I feel the urge to cross it again...
