Went to Daniel Silverstone's civil union ceremony in Wales. Now he has a husband, too! He finally understands my pain! This trip required a short plane trip from Edinburgh to some small airport in Wales, where we rented a 7-passenger van for the 6 of us plus our luggage, then a 3 hour drive to the coast (Solva) where we stayed at Bed and Breakfasts until the next morning where we drove to London via Stonehenge. For those not in the UK, From Solva to London, going via Stonehenge is Not Normal (apparently).

But! I got to see Stonehenge! It was cool, but unfortunately it's a mystery, and one nobody knows about, and it's something I'm not going to figure out in the few minutes I had to look it over, so it frustrates me. However, I have pictures, but I haven't uploaded them and I need to shower then sleep so I can make an early flight and not want to kill people. We'll see how well that works out. So, I suppose I should start insisting the geeks in Steve McIntyer's living room find suitable geek space so I can force Steve to get some rest so we aren't snapping at each other tomorrow morning.

I'm so very tired, and as much fun as I've had, I'm really looking forward to getting home to my bed and my kitties.

Oh. Yeah. Lost my keys somewhere between PDX and here. Hopefully they're at home. =/

The Stonehenge detour was worth it, IMO. I look forward to pictures :) Have a good trip home, and do let me know when you've arrived. Fingers crossed WRT your keys.

I agree! Stonehenge FTW!

Dude!

Stonehenge is an old observatory. All sorts of nifty things line up with various astronomical events. There's that square formed by the two L and upside down L-shaped things in two stones that makes a window around the rising sun on one of the Soltices, and the line of stones to the southwest(?) lines up with one of the equinoxes on the horizon, etc. etc.

And didn't they discover a list of the names of the Knights of the Red Branch near or at Stonehenge recently?

I didn't take the audio tour, so I don't know. I just looked at the stones, tilted my head, looked at them again, backed up, looked at them again and frowned.

But, it was fun!
