land's end

broke my personal speed record again today - this time 110 mph. Its funny, I don't even FEEL like i'm going that fast, but evidently I am.

10 hours of driving today, which is kinda ironic because once I get back to the US I'll be living in New York without a car. Its like I'm getting my last kicks out. Saw Stonehenge in the morning while it was still cold and grey out - perfect stonehenge weather. And don't let anyone tell you that stonehenge is anything more than a pile of rocks because basically that is all that it is. Of course, they are rocks that have been there for thousands of years, carried hundreds of miles by slave workers and seen by million of people - but they are still rocks nonetheless.

Land's End was actually far more impressive. All the way at the southwest coast of England. 2000 or so miles from NYC (there was a sign). By this point the sun had come out and the scenery, with the ocean, the rocks and the landscape was pretty stunning. Good photos too.

Now I'm back home, ready to go to bed to get up early tomorrow (6am - its funny how organized and disciplined I can be when I'm NOT doing what I'm supposed to) to travel to England's Lake District.

And then... a day in London and a final flight back home...
