...using nothing but 13-century building techniques. Apparently, they're 12 years into a 25-year project, and it looks amazing. This is seriously one of the coolest things I've ever seen. The website is here (english version): www.guedelon.fr/en/I've always wanted to do something like this; with my interests in buildings, medieval Europe, and experimental archaeology, this would be perfect. Anyone wanna buy me a plane ticket? ;D Mor |

Hey, you are young. Just go already. If you don't do stuff like that now you probably won't have the chance again utill you are too old to be bothered. Really. Put the ticket on a credit card and go. When you get back (if you decide to come back) take a part time job and pay off the card. Then do it again!  |

Well, there's that whole grad school thing I'm doing, and I'm not so sure if the wife would be keen on my going to France for a few months...without her anyway. Still, if I could do something like this as part of a Thesis, I'd be all over it. Mor |

There's also Dupont Castle here in the USA, but they're using modern techniques and building materials. |
