Lol. No matey. I always found heads of history depts. to be a bit grating as people, and history students to be equally so. Especially undergrads. Lol. I guess I like visiting places and thinking about the lives people lived there as much as I like meeting the people who live in those places now? Dunno. I find thinking about it within the frame work of none of us just happen, but rather are effects of multiple causes (mainly people interacting) through time helps the places I travel to to imprint better on memory.

I do enjoy researching the various ontologies and epistemologies of the various cultures that have been there before though. It makes travelling to and standing in certain places an inquiry of sorts? Again dunno. It's not a deep exercise btw. Once I'm done and left I'm content to go have a beer and be on about my next thing to do.

Btw in regards to finding neat places, you're up Bristol way yeah? Give me a shout if you want a list regarding spots you would definitely cover better than I could. There's loads around striking range to you that you'd love me thinks. You're definitely way better at the video, photography, travel writer thing so I can think of a number of places you would make awesome posts of.

Great to hear from you and thanks for giving my post a read. Hope you're staying healthy and safe over your way. :)
