on a serious note, last year i visited machu pichu, a place i had fantasized about since childhood. it did not disappoint. having read everything there was to read about the ruins and having seen picture after picture, i had the same sense of place i felt the first time i saw rome–”hey, i know this place, it looks just like it should”–it was wonderful. i can’t vouch for middle earth but i’m sure that your england jaunt will give you that deja vu all over again sensation. enjoy.
