Here are the files in the CULTURES section of my files that I think might
be of interest to you:
England-msg       (49K)  8/25/98    Medieval points of interest in England.
Europe-msg        (18K)  5/14/98    Medieval points of interest in Europe.
London-msg        (43K)  2/18/00    Medieval points of interest in and around
                                       London.

Paris-msg         (23K)  1/ 2/96    Medieval points of interest in and around
                                      Paris.

Medieval 
                                       points of interest. The Orkney Islands.

If you have any other medieval points of interest to add after your
travels there, I'd love to have an email or two to add to the appropriate
files.

Maybe someday I'll get the chance to take advantage of these notes I've
been saving and get to see some of Europe, myself.
