The Bridge is Down

Yesterday was amazing-- I witnessed the dismantlement of the Ledra Bridge. It's been a key point of contention between Greek and Turkish Cypriots. One of my colleagues (who ended up on Cypriot TV) and I drove up and watched the workers jackhammer the concrete. The evironment was festive-- lots of kids, old people and local shopkeepers. And then by 10pm last night...it was gone. Unreal.
