On Sunday, we were able to go see the London Bridge, in Lake Havasu City, Arizona.
Wikipedia says:
London Bridge is a bridge in
Lake Havasu City,
Arizona,
United States, that is based on the 1831
London Bridge that spanned the
River Thames in
London,
England until it was dismantled in 1967. The Arizona bridge is a
reinforced concrete structure clad in the original masonry of the 1830s bridge, that was bought by
Robert P. McCulloch from the
City of London. McCulloch had exterior granite blocks from the original bridge numbered and transported to America, to construct the present bridge in Lake Havasu City, a planned community he established in 1964 on the shore of
Lake Havasu. The bridge was completed in 1971 (along with a canal), and links an island in the lake with the main part of Lake Havasu City.
It was hotter than hot in Arizona, but the Bridge was really cool to see.
