I think it's really strange how though we went across the four bridges the gps didn't seem to know how to track us along the river walk and made it seem more like we were in the river. I decided I wanted to take note of something from each bridge and observed that though bridges are all essentially the same with the same watch towers for the operators, each one is architecturally different and interesting.
I agree, I think it's interesting that this technology that is supposed to track exactly where we've been did anything but. Along with taking pictures during our route, I also noticed how that the further south we traveled, to more crowded the sidewalks were. The kinds of people and businesses that we came across also changed. It was interesting to see that in the short distance we traveled just how different the experience of the city became.
I thought our route would look a lot different than how it turned out. I guess that could be attributed to the unfamiliar technology. On the bridges, you could see more of the city and how it interacted with the river. On the west side of the river, it seemed to be quieter overall. Also, when we were on the Riverwalk, it was a whole different experience. The businesses on the waterfront were all very accommodating to whoever would be using the Riverwalk. Even though it was in the middle of the day, we hardly saw anyone. The people we did see, however, all seemed to be homeless. Just between the bridges and the Riverwalk gave a whole different feel to the city. It was easier to feel more secluded the closer we got to the river.
