The Other Golden Gate



It turns out that Lisbon, Portugal, also has a Golden Gate Bridge (they don't call it that which is good; otherwise, they'd be guilty of what teenagers call "posing," since ours was built long before theirs).  True, they have one thing nearby that ours does not: a memorial to explorers going back as far back as the 16th century.  I guess we'd have to admit that San Fran was not exactly a world hub of exploration 500 years ago...
