The longest day of the year is due in the northern hemisphere this weekend, and all earth-lovers, hippies and miscellaneous interested parties are invited to the Summer Solstice bash on Friday night at Stonehenge in England.
If you think that this collection of rocks is the work of the world's first astronomers then you might find some kind of magical occurrence at sunrise. Or you might find a collection of samba bands, a bunch of druids with dreadlocks and a number of police making sure all of the rules--including "no camping"--are enforced.
Summer solstice at Stonehenge is a bit of a hat-tip to the 70s, but we wish we could be there. It's one of the few times you can actually touch the stones, and we love getting our hands dirty.
