Thanks very much for your comments.  Jim, the story of how Stonehenge was 
constructed 4,000 years ago is truly remarkable.  The largest sarsen stones 
weigh 45 tonnes!  And they had to be transported a great distance overland 
before the construction could even begin.  The bluestones came from even 
further away and had to be transported across the sea on rafts.  Such 
dedication and devotion to the task is mind-boggling.  I suppose that 
construction of the pyramids was an even more astonishing task.  But I am 
not sure that anything quite equals the experience of being alone within 
the massive sarsen columns as darkness falls..
