Costa da Morte We spent the weekend travelling around the 'Coast of Death' - where we visited a magnificent dolmen (pictured). The most exciting thing about this dolmen is the conservation project - It's currently preserved within a big tent - but will soon be the centrepiece of an enormous permanent structrure to protect it from the elements. Not too much of the modern interfering with the ancient, the dome will respect the appropriate allignments as well as protect the site from the harsh Galician winter. Later, we visited Cabo Fisterra (Cape at the End of the Earth) - so called because it was the furthest point west that the Romans managed to venture. Scorching hot day too. No sunrise viewing this trip, but we did get sunburn! We also did the St John's Day celebration a couple of days later - same as usual, although the fireworks where much more impressive this year. Loreto and I jumped the fire together this year - no photo's tho. Vic

Blog Construction We went to Madrid the week before, so work constraints prevented us from making an equinox trip, but I made up for it by creating this blog instead. And because I started work on this blog on the night of the 22nd, I feel that I still marked the occassion in a suitable fashion, even if I didn't physically go anywhere! Vic
