Avebury: notes

The druid (well, the old man who was playing the role of the druid) had a long white, wise beard, was wearing a pale tunic and had a feather on his hat. Unfortunately the tunic was a bit too short for him, covering his legs only until the knees.. and like all druids of ancient time, he was wearing jeans underneath!!

Number of alarm clocks that went on in order to wake us up for the greeting to the sun: 5. And all were regularly switched off.

There is a board on one of the gates that asks to those who are entering the stone circle for respect and devotion. The area is considered sacred.
What baffled me were the two roads which crisscross the henge.
Someone has to explain to me what kind of form of respect those roads represent..

The stone circle at Avebury is part of the UNESCO World Heritage.
