Naturally, the main sight is the awesome Rock; a vast limestone ridge that rises to 426m, with sheer cliffs on its northern and eastern sides.

The two great rocks marked the edge of the ancient world.

I used no more nails and I will attach beadboard to the center and I will paint it all birch white. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH9PWOHmpzDcPKRrH7oIIrhlZXL_wjoo-bMxat3fLhXtnEvAiex85p8uZ3Dc8suBX0N-FNHLRYGg5Z_n8ar9Rm_D0fPiZpuNfTIEWo7zHvVAaW8dKTD96SXW50gbdT_72uOrg8iL4CkMg/s1600/166034_10151038847750295_1779435100_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH9PWOHmpzDcPKRrH7oIIrhlZXL_wjoo-bMxat3fLhXtnEvAiex85p8uZ3Dc8suBX0N-FNHLRYGg5Z_n8ar9Rm_D0fPiZpuNfTIEWo7zHvVAaW8dKTD96SXW50gbdT_72uOrg8iL4CkMg/s640/166034_10151038847750295_1779435100_n.jpg" width="478" /></a></div> I finally sanded and stained the upstairs hall, today I will top coat.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoExvSgUdUxZIdW0IQzCV0Yc6XPTdUfEQTic1L0L3DEzVsRlZx9WKONWReuxT4cYkZtVvQGuOYaf0MiV5yYMlduIhdy6uLxI_GjaaQzG7-sns6tlCgQqHaPgjVo2NZvHszkRrQelxp7vw/s1600/252680_10151041626770295_1964958576_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoExvSgUdUxZIdW0IQzCV0Yc6XPTdUfEQTic1L0L3DEzVsRlZx9WKONWReuxT4cYkZtVvQGuOYaf0MiV5yYMlduIhdy6uLxI_GjaaQzG7-sns6tlCgQqHaPgjVo2NZvHszkRrQelxp7vw/s640/252680_10151041626770295_1964958576_n.jpg" width="478" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I baked Sophie some red velvet cupcakes for her birthday yesterday , these are Betty Crocker and come with frosting.
