Rocky trip


A dozen or so of us are off to Scotland today for the second time in 12 hours. The ten day 'Old Stone' tour where we will be exploring dry stone walls, stone castles, stone circles, standing stones and underground stone chambers as well as some exciting new (old?) archeological sites on the Orkneys, got off to a rocky start when the plane we were on last night turned back over Northern Quebec. Generator problems was the official word from the captain. 

Despite this minor setback we remain confident things will go smoothly from here on and we all look forward to the next part of the trip - getting there.  Stay tuned for lots of photos and interesting discussion (and conjecture) about the historic details concerning some of the ancient places we will eventually be visiting.
