While you were enjoying yourselves yesterday I undertook, on your behalf, to ascend the Torre de Hércules, climbing the 246 steps to the top to photograph the surroundings.
This is the oldest working Roman lighthouse in the world. It was built in the 2nd century and the diagonal stone work on the current building represents the original donkey cart ramp used to carry the wood to the top.
In 1788, the original tower was provided with a new outer shell which is what we see today.
I will load up some photos taken from the top and post the link.

founder of the Galician Celtic Nation.

Cardhu,
Thanks for the picture and the Wikipedia link.
By golly, That is a story and a half.
1900 years of continuous use, that is a tremendous monument.

Mo ! :) Hey there Philly Girl :) Great to see you.
Sorry to hear about your f-i-l.... wonder why your M-i-l is handling it so well. Naybe she is just putting on a good face so he won't worry.
I've had out of town guests for about a week, they all left today so now I'm trying to get caught up.

Gran, we were all getting worried about you. Glad you're on the mend. It you had walking pneumonia, please, don't try to do too much too soon. That stuff zaps your strength for weeks.
Gosh, I didn't realize that y'all had already decided to downsize up there. Can't wait for the latest on your house hunt. :)

I'm really enjoying your wonderful photos. :) Isn't it amazing what prolific builders the Romans were. I'm always surprised by all the structures everywhere that are still standing and in some cases still in use.

I saw a clip of this last night on the news. For those of you who might have missed it, here is the transcript of an exchange between the new White House Press Secretary, Tony Snow and The Hideous Helen Thomas. At last, someone who is not afraid of the hateful woman.
Press Briefing by Tony Snow MR. SNOW: Welcome. Hope you all had a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend. No announcements. Questions. Terry.
Q Why did the President pick a man who is so contemptible of the public servants in Washington to be his Domestic Advisor -- saying, "People in Washington are morally repugnant, cheating, shifty human beings"? Why would he pick such a man to be a Domestic Advisor?
MR. SNOW: You meant contemptuous, as opposed to contemptible, I think.
Q Pure contempt.
MR. SNOW: Well, I'm not sure it's pure contempt. I know Karl Zinsmeister pretty well, and he is somebody who expresses himself with a certain amount of piquancy -- you're perhaps familiar with that, aren't you, Helen? And so, as a consequence, from time to time he's going to say -- he'll have some sharp elbows.
Q If this is his attitude toward public servants --
MR. SNOW: No, I don't think it's his attitude toward public servants -- it may have been toward the press. Just kidding. No, I -- look, if you look at the bulk of what Karl Zinsmeister has done at The American Enterprise and elsewhere, I think you're going to find somebody who's done some pretty meaty and interesting research on a variety of topics. The reason he's being brought in is that he's --
Q Do you agree with his assessment of Washington?
MR. SNOW: I'm not -- there's one sentence the guy wrote, and perhaps you may recall -- yes?
Q Arrogant, morally repugnant, cheating, shifty -- come on.
MR. SNOW: That's a lot in one sentence, isn't it? He just packed it right in.
Q So what is the attitude toward --
MR. SNOW: The attitude is we're glad to have a guy on board who has breadth of knowledge, who has breadth of interest and of experience, and is going to bring --
Q No tolerance for other human beings.
MR. SNOW: Helen, tell you what, why don't you get to know Karl, because I think you're going to find out that to judge somebody --
Q Bring him on. (Laughter.)
MR. SNOW: -- on the basis of one sentence is probably a little unfair.
Q How could it be unfair?
MR. SNOW: He'll charm you.
