July 7, 2008: Living On The Edge In the "Bigger Europe" IOtD the other day, I mentioned that Europe was worrying about overcrowding, in the early '30s. Now I see what they were worrying about. SPUCK Monday Jul 7 05:28 AM Yeah.. I'm looking at that lower right inset on the first pic and wondering shurrrrrr they ran a sewer line up from that place. SPUCK Monday Jul 7 05:30 AM Quote:
manu Monday Jul 7 07:45 AM I've been to Bonifacio several times, the location is amazing ... xoxoxoBruce Monday Jul 7 07:47 AM How big is that town/city, manu? ajaccio Monday Jul 7 10:07 AMI've also been to Bonifacio. It is a beautiful midievil town, the edge of which is perched so precariously on the edge of those cliffs. I arrived there by boat, and it's very dramatic when seen from below...! Manu, what takes you to Corsica? I have French family with property there and many Corsican friends. I have been going since the 70's. Yourself? classicman Monday Jul 7 10:59 AM ok - say you live toward the end and have a refrigerator and some new furniture coming - how's it get delivered? xoxoxoBruce Monday Jul 7 11:17 AM . BrianR Monday Jul 7 12:42 PM I have also been to Spain. Some city beginning with a 'B' but not Bonifacio...B B bbb ummmm...... on Yeah! Benidorm! With the crocodile and the rain! tombstone Monday Jul 7 01:20 PM ...Send the visitors' obnoxious kids out to play in the back yard.... Gravdigr Monday Jul 7 04:59 PM Let's see...Houses of dubious structural integrity...constructed on the precipice of certain death... zippyt Monday Jul 7 05:01 PM Gives a whole new meening to Peeing off the Back Porch !!! Gravdigr Monday Jul 7 05:05 PM Oh. My. God. In the pic from Castellfollit de la Roca, Spain, just above the middle of the pic, on the side of the cliff...Is that a TV antenna? Or a child catcher? Or a gangplank? glatt Monday Jul 7 05:22 PM At least these houses are built on solid rock, even if it is above a cliff. What about all the hillside houses in California right in the heart of landslide/earthquake country? HungLikeJesus Monday Jul 7 05:27 PM Quote:
glatt Monday Jul 7 05:30 PM Sure, the part that wasn't solid fell down. But what's left is solid. HungLikeJesus Monday Jul 7 05:34 PM I think people who lived in the second row wanted to live in the first row. Now they do. xoxoxoBruce Monday Jul 7 11:19 PM Quote:
