Once we had to 'stack' in a plane when coming into Naples, and we flew round and round Mt. Vesuvius, it was really exciting being able to look down into the heart of the crater!Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-44194741107975830862012-04-08T21:23:21.331+01:002012-04-08T21:23:21.331+01:00Lovely bit of triv, Rosemary.

I saw a piece of Hadrian's wall on a short visit to Edinburgh and have never forgotten about it and him. In fact I met Hadrian again in the British Museum!

I don't think the folks in San Francisco have gotten the word — my understanding is that the Golden Gate Bridge is one of those that's continually painted. I enjoyed the aerial views of Scotland, too. When I fly across the United States, I'm always amazed to rediscover how much of the country is still undeveloped; one doesn't expect that ...Mark D.
