discovery.

Epic win!

You people who don't understand binary have no idea how much you're 
missing...

Some day, I will possess the software and the skill required to do this. :-P

browsing through your Cornwall gallery, I saw that:

'Men an tol' certainly means the 'stone with a hole' in Cornish.
In Breton (the local language of my country, Brittany) it is 'Men an toul'

That's interesting. Do you know alot of Breton?
Stephanie, the woman with the white hair in that picture was telling us alot 
about the Cornish language and local history and such. She drove us all over 
Cornwall (a terrifying experiance because of the high speeds and 
extreeeeeeeemly narrow roads) and took us for cream teas.
I'm back in London until Sunday when we return to New York. I think we are 
going on another walking tour Saturday of Essex River Towns. I think that 
one will be only 10 miles. (The Stonehenge Walk we went on on Sunday was 13 
miles.)
