Remove the underline from a link

Hi guys,

I am having trouble passing this challenge. I really don't know why because it looks like I am doing the right thing. I need to remove the underline from any unvisited site. Thought I needed to do something like

a:link { text-decoration: none; }

That is what I did. It should be right from what I see but I have been wrong before!

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body> 
    <header id="top" class="main-header">
      <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1>Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>
    <div class="primary-content t-border">
      <p class="intro">
        Lake Tahoe is one of the most <span class="breathtaking">breathtaking attractions</span> located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.
      </p>
      <a href="#more">Find out more</a>
    </div>
    <footer class="main-footer">
      <p>All rights reserved to the state of <a href="#">California</a>.</p>
      <a href="#top">Back to top &raquo;</a>
    </footer>
  </body>
</html>
style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.intro {
 font-size: 1.25em; 
 line-height: 1.6;
}
.intro span {
  font-weight: bold;
  font-style: italic;
  {

a:link {
  text-decoration: none;
    }

It looks like you have a opening curly brace as a closing bracket on .intro span
