As far as what there is to see ... won't know that until I get there, and it depends on how much imagination you have.

I've been to *one* battlefield, and I won't be seeing another. What I saw, and most importantly, what I *felt* was nearly unbearable.

Back in the mid-80s I had a very good friend who inherited a house in an old St. Louis neighborhood that happened to be undergoing a renaissance. She spent exactly one night there, and refused to even go back in it. When anyone asked her why, she would just say it felt "evil." She was a bit of a flake, anyway, so I thought the "urban pioneer" idea was just another of her phases (she had a lot of them). She sold the house for a very nice chunk of change..

About three years ago I was doing some digging around on the net about Civil War history. The house she inherited was built on the ground of a rather infamous Civil War prison where lots of people met less than pleasant fates, often for no more reason than they'd pissed off their neighbor or mother-in-law (border states had a lot of fun that way).

For the record - I think what drove out Ms. Suburbanite was a combination of the looks of her neighbors, who had not been gentrified, and the sounds of trucks, trains and barges (she was less than a quarter-mile from the Mississippi, and three blocks away from the original Anheusser-Busch brewery).

But who the hell knows ...

I would have to recommend visiting the Somme, I spent 11 years driving past it on almost a monthly basis.

We stopped there once purely because we were ahead in our schedule and I have to admit I'm glad we did. There's the electric sense that something beyond understanding happened there. Indescribable.

The Somme? Are you shitting me Trev? Unless they have opened a fucking Disney World on the Belgian border you have to be on crack

Where are you going next? A romantic tour of Auschwitz followed by an ear necklace shopping trip in My Lai?

What happened to Mediterranean beaches or a Carribean cruise?

Remind me when you come up to Vancouver and we can go hang out at the Wounded Knee massacre site.

Fun for all the family

Trev and PD could be travelling companions.

I may owe tax, but I'm not paying for any retraining... if you'd done it right in the first place there would've been no straying!

I was giving a site name to the one looking to see the "war" stuff.
