And the tourist brochures pointed me in the direction of this bridge -- I love bridges, metaphorically and symbolically and structurally -- and it was a bit of a disappointment, because of the sludge from the river was encrusted on it; it really wasn't in use.
Broșurile turistice mi-au recomandat să văd acest pod -- iubesc podurile, metaforic, simbolic și structural vorbind -- dar am fost cam dezamăgit, deoarece mizeria din apă era încrustată pe pod; chiar nu era nevoie de așa ceva.
