The point of the previous entry was to say something to the effect of, "It's less the monuments and more the moments, in that being emotionally tied to a region makes the experience more long-lasting/salient, and that monuments, no matter how beautiful or how splendid the views may be from the top, may have more meaning to the architect than visitors, and that we all, at some point, deserve to have some terrifying moment of aimlessness in some faraway country because it lets us walk down streets and see ducks and swans mingle in the creeks, because it is very much different from that sort of enforced silence, the way people take Sunday strolls, simply by the fact that you've no place to stroll back to." Also, knights are hot but I didn't get to that part.
