Old Church

Thursday, May 28, 2009 

The ancient church in our town (of 4 discrete buildings) turns out to be more ancient than thought, built in the 10th century. It is in need of some stabilization.

Some architects were documenting the layout of the stones (a stone-by-stone process) for future restoration work and we had a chance to look around inside. This is a rare treat as it is only open once a year for mass.

Swallows nest in the church walls and are very entertaining at dusk.

United pod ports

Sunday, May 24, 2009 

The pod ports include usb (power only, I think), a network connection (!), a 110V outlet as well as the wacky proprietary iPod connector that they still don’t have the cable for.
