Pagans, partygoers greet solstice at Stonehenge
By NARDINE SAAD, Associated Press Writer
STONEHENGE, England – Pagans and partygoers drummed, danced or gyrated in hula hoops to stay awake through the night, as more than 35,000 people greeted the summer solstice Sunday at the ancient stone circle of Stonehenge.
Read story.
To a much less degree, on the summer solstice of 1967 "Sally" and I drove to the Stonehenge replica overlooking the Columbia Gorge on the Washington side and met her brother and friends coming over from Seattle. We had an all-night party and were the only ones there (the Seattle crowd had brought cases of homemade meade). However, the next morning a few tourists arrived to find the place overrun by hungover young folks in sleeping bags.
