Just track with me for a minute. Let's say that there is some other race of highly intelligent, technologically advanced creatures living somewhere in relatively close proximity to the planet Earth. Now let's suspend reality further and imagine that these people (or martians, or whatever you want to call them) were able to out-engineer the harsh vacuum of outer space and somehow overcome the massive power demands necessary to travel between the stars. We can assume that of all the countless dots in their nighttime sky, they arbitrarily picked our sun and traveled for several (probably even hundreds of) years to our little blue planet. Assuming all of this had come to pass, I simply cannot believe that the only thumbprint these super-advanced people would leave here is Stonehenge. It's truly just a bunch of rocks. I'm glad I saw these stones with my own two eyes, but if aliens ever do visit this planet, they better leave something way cooler than the Henge.
We also went to the City of Bath, which was remarkably nice. Almost all the buildings are built out of a beautiful honey-colored rock called, aptly enough, Bathstone. There is a lot of Roman history here and the whole town has a very nice, relaxed feel. Today, I'm off to find Wembley Stadium, a guitar, and a plane ride to Berlin. Cheers!

It looks like you're having a blast. Definitely haven't missed much here, except OSU definitely beat USC tonight, and it was a very exciting game. Other than that, I just listen to Feist and edit videos for corporate meetings all day. I love the blog - is it hard to find internet to update? I'm suprised at how many entries you've made, it's awesome, and more entertaining than www.creedthoughts.gov.www\creedthoughts! Have fun, and drink a pint for me. You should try to spend all your money abroad - by the time you return we'll probably be in the second great depression. At least that's what all the old people are saying...
You worked martians into your euro-blog effortlessly, that takes talent :)
did you ever find a guitar?
