Friday 8/31

Megaliths -- standing stones -- in Carnac.... A tumulus.....

We were up reasonably early, and off to the village of Carnac to see the church and visit the prehistory museum. In the afternoon we went off to find the megaliths, and yes, we found them. There are fields of rows and rows of stones from the size of chairs to others eight to twleve feet high. Thousands of them. And there are dolmens, the skeletons of old tumulus, generally believed to be burial sites or ritual structures. We saw a tiny fraction along with a bit of the countryside.
