Sometimes, it's these little mishaps that make our travels all the more memorable, wouldn't you agree?
Below, I share some captivating photos from this journey, so keep reading, honey!
And if you've got any travel tips or stories of your own to share, please do so!!! I always love hearing from fellow adventurers. #RoadieAdventures 🌍✨
Here is where my devastation sunk in. (Remember, I forgot my spray paint and lock!) My heart dropped!
ROADIE NOTE: One of the benefits of traveling alone when no one else is traveling is that you get to stop in the middle of the street and take pictures!!!
MANY times!!!
I love the yellow background and high contrast it creates.
Oh! And this is ME making an appearance for you! This is the first photo of myself out of hundreds taken by this point.
Q: What would you think about this graffiti bridge being the backdrop to your home?
NOTE: I should have slowed down a bit to get the top of that light pole.
ROADIE NOTE: This trend of adding locks to Gates is said to have derived from to Pont des Arts in Paris. This is another traveler trend OR something that many (river) walkers find in various cities. Love birds put locks on bridges to symbolize their lasting connection, yet the weight of their love creates problems that cities undo by removing the bridges (our the locks) altogether.

I took this picture without being able to see screen (battery was be SUPER low). I knew the ray of sun would hit just right!
Hey girl! Hey!
Well, maybe it wasn't the universe talking to me.
I went to college in Pensacola, and this bridge is definitely a landmark and popular with locals!
