Leí del puente suspendido más largo que existe en Japón. ¡Es impresionante!
Desafortunadamente, le tengo tanto temor al mar que creo que nunca cruzaré uno al menos que esté en coma o dormida o embriagada o???? P.D. Gracias por las fotos, Crotalito!

In Spain, days between a weekend and a public holiday is also known as puente.
Por ejemplo, si miercoles y jueves es fiesta, el viernes será un puente, lo aprovechamos para irnos de viaje o hacer otras cosas menos trabajar. Todos los españoles les encanta, al menos los madrileños. Para mi, los puentes significa que siempre podemos conseguir lo que queremos, más si es una necesidad, y que nada es imposible. Me gusta mucho las fotos de Crotatilo y de Hopper también.

A long weekend is what we get when there is a holiday on Friday, or a holiday on Monday. That's three days off in a row.
Thanksgiving, our next holiday in the U.S., falls on a Thursday. Many people also get/take Friday off, so they get a four-day weekend, but it can also be called a long weekend. Some people have to work on Friday, so they don't get a long weekend. |

Sometimes when we have a very big "puente" we call it "acueducto" (aqueduct)
Example. Monday 1. If we have "public holidays" the 2 and the 4(Tuesday and Thursday) we can have a free week making an aqueduct (we make three "puentes"). It happens usually when a "national" public holyday with a "region" public holiday combines saludos
