This morning I made my second visit to the GW Bridge bus terminal and had good instruction on how to make entry to the pedestrian walkway.
Immediately I made entry to the southside walkway and crossed the bridge without any difficulty.
There were a few bike riders and only one pedestrian from the opposite direction, from whom I had pictures of me
In thirty minutes I arrived at the New Jersey exit to the Hudson Terrace.
i My return trip to the Manhattan side took only twenty minutes, but met two pedestrians again from the opposite direction, who were nice enough to take some more photos of me.
I am still in my son’s Chelsea apt, and plan to return home on Dec 10. Around mid or late December, I willl post the full reports on my two marches, through Brooklyn Bridge and George Washington Bridge

Doc, Congratulations !!
Thinking about "bridge crossings", someone has to write up about the same
from here to the heaven (or the hell) someday.
One technical problem is that it may not be a round trip and our website may not be available over there.
Maybe, New Yorkers are not as much enthusiastic in bridge crossing as Californians.
Obviously, crossing the Golden Gate Bridge must be more popular than I thought.

Dear Dr. 이 & WM: Crossing Golden Gate Bridge must be a grand experience for sightseeing, enjoying the atmosphere and exercise.
I think it is a little different here with ever busier routines, without much chance for enjoyment.
With Brooklyn Bridge crossing, the walkway was fully crowded with tourists, but it was nice.
However GW Bridge gave me some challenging feelings while walking alone, and occasionally noticed some movements of the floor, such as bouncing up and down, and constant noises from trucks and large vehicles.
As to the return trip from heaven to our secular world, we humans haven’t seen such miracle yet,
and I can tell you for sure that during the zillion years to come, nobody will see this miracle!

Doc, if there is a bridge between this world and heaven, somebody must have crossed both ways.
I assume there is no such bridge for us, and even for our souls.
However, tickets to the bridge have been sold for some kind of donations every day in this world.
이야기가 엉뚱한 삼천포로 빠졌지만, Some people may get upset when I say that.
그렇건 안그렇건, In the meantime, at least, we shall have fun and enjoy crossing the real bridges.

You should be very proud of yourself still demonstrating what you can do in spite of whatever,
although it is not as dramatic as the late George Bush's parachuting on his 90th birthday.
Certainly you are an inspiration to me who likes to walk a little over two miles around my village every morning.
Thank you for showing a good example for us.
By the way, when my wife had a class union in San Francisco not too long ago,
the first thing these 42 grandmas did was to cross the Golden Gate Bridge together.
It must be for whatever reason
that the bridges may always be inviting or luring the aged men and women to be crossed.
