replying to @MarjiStevens @MarjiStevens I was only up there for maybe an hour and a bit early one morning; I need to go back and explore more. I went up there as a kid but like I can remember that! #TRLT

A2. An ancient place I go for #culture is deep #Amazonia. The #Waorani people of #Ecuador were only contacted by #WesternCivilization 70ish years ago. Much of their ancient ways persist as does their ancient #forest

A2: The culture of Ethiopia is unlike anything I've ever experienced. The Ethiopian Orthodox Church feels ancient and special - such as this monastery on Lake Tana. #TRLT @EthioEmbassyUK

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @Nilemajesty @ExperienceEgypt #trlt Insurance as we know it started Edward Lloyd's coffee shop, which then evolved to Lloyds of London. A building which offends many, it's the youngest ever to be Grade I listed. It's also the third on the site, which itself dictates the shape due to historic street patterns

A2 I felt like I had entered monastic life when I visited the monasteries at Meteora, Greece. The only nod toward modernization they've made is to build some actual roads and stairs instead of hauling the monks up the rock in rickety baskets like the used to. @cruisewriter #TRLT

A1. Ancient to me is hard to define. In Vancouver, ancient goes back to around 1000AD with some of the middens of the First Nations; but back to around 3000BC in the Middle East and back beyond that in Africa ... #TRLT

replying to @JeffTitelius @JeffTitelius @WalkinSpain Good call. We often don't think of 'concepts' as 'ancient', even though they obviously are. #TRLT And pilgrimages are as old as there's been religion.

replying to @carornocar @carornocar I think that street does, actually. It's part of "Creswell Model Village" so presumably it's preserved in some way. Similar to the likes of New Lanark and Saltaire, only obviously much smaller #TRLT
