What is your favorite megalithic in Europe? And why? Other than
Stonehenge, that is -- that could be an easy choice already.
The Ring of Brodgar, in Orkney.
It's approachable, and doesn't feel at all touristy.
I replied to this part, then had other thoughts. Tarxien in Malta is
also fascinating. So is the Taula Sanctuary on, I think, Minorca.
Sicily has some great sites, but a bit later. Back in Orkney, there
are so many sites, but trying to stick to megalithic keeps the list
shorter. Skara Brae is stone. . .
Yes, I _loved_ Skara Brae!
First time I visited, we wandered around the site at midnight in June.
That was the 80s, not sure if you can still do that?

They've tightened up access. I envy you the site at midnight in June!
I was 16 the first time- made quite an impression!
