Well, we have overgrown houses, and old stone walls, but none of them have a chance of dating back as far as some of the sites in Europe.  The only serious claim Vermont can lay, with regards to 'age' is the oldest known Corral Reef in the world (Goodsell Ridge Preserve, 81 acre nature and geologic preserve).  Which is pretty cool, in and of itself (always took for granted how many fossils, mostly trilobtes I found as a kid on the shores of Lake Champlain).  But yeah, I do miss the 'age' of the structures in Europe.  Wales was particularly awesome.

You still get the sense that time has passed though. This game is like removing those weeds and vines, removing the satalite dishes and modern cars, and placing you there. Wales is a great place to walk, but if you ever get a chance to visit Britain again, check out the Peak District. Very Tolkeinesque but very real.

Will have to do that, I spent much of my time in England in and around the area of Bulwell; Sherwood Forest and the Great Oak were pretty cool (especially as a younger kid, at the time).  Wales was the tale end of the vacation, spent a week in a chalet.  Some breathtaking views, that's for sure.
