The New Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge
The original Tappan Zee bridge was blown up, partially in January 2019 and partially in May 2019. It was replaced with a brand new, 8-lane bridge called the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge, after former New York Governor Mario Cuomo.
The Tappan Zee Bridge only allowed seven lanes of traffic to pass through, while the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge is equipped with eight lanes. Everyone has heard horror stories of New York traffic, so I’m sure an extra lane could only be a good thing!
The Big Ben We Know And Love
Everyone knows what Big Ben looks like, even if you have never stepped foot in England before. It’s iconic and it’s a staple of traveling to London. Let’s face it, going to London and not seeing Big Ben is a recipe for disappointment.
Walking the streets of London and hearing Big Ben’s bell go off on the hour was music to your ears… literally. Big Ben was one of the most beautiful sites to see while in London.
