The Love Bridge

Paris is known as the City of Lights, although it is often referred to as the City of Love. And for those in love, there is an interesting tradition in Paris.

From afar, this bridge appears to have gold railings/iron work.



But upon closer inspection, it actually is filled with hundreds of locks.




The custom is to write the names of you and your loved one on the lock, lock it to the bridge and then throw away the key into the Seine. Thereby declaring that your hearts are forever locked together in love. Aw... sigh.



Holly and I decided it would make a good photo op although I am so pale that I appear a bit reflective.
But the real question is.....







Are you cheating when you use a combination lock? That's not very committed now, is it?!?!?!
