And yes, but my breaks are too often :lol: I blame Lucretius, and not my attention span of course.

:lmao: I like suits lol. And anything to do with water, rubber, diving, jetskiing - basically anything with suits and water lol

Wow, that was voluntary too? Volunteering in hospitals, jetskiing, that's amazing. I bet that (potential) rugby couching was also voluntary.

lol that's awesome, people devoting their lives to voluunteering :) Thanks, but sorry, I don't use facebook, so can't check. it's not really aspie-friendly lol

Ocean yeah me too :D You're lucky to have it all around you! We have this big pond here called the Adriatic Sea....but it's not quite the same or nearby.

Fair enough.. Kinda know what you mean by not being aspie friendly... Only signed up because i was coaxed into it.. Life was sooo much simpler before!

The Adriatic is a beautiful coastline... Must be some amazing historical dive sites that have been found and waiting to be found.. An adventures diving dream :)

Yeah, kinda do a lot of voluntary stuff, just my way of silently giving back...

Yeah, I deleted it some years ago and never regretted :)

Yes, the coastline here is great :D , though in the summer it can be quite crowded lol

But yes, here there were many important naval routes for the Roman army (and other armies), and anyone even remotely interested in ruins of any kind will be very happy.

Taranto, near Dubrovnik :

or even better, for scuba diving Tunnel of Prvić:

Beautiful.. There is always something so magical about History and archaeology... Taking ones mind back and imagining being there in that time and moment..

Yes, exactly! I think that's why I took Latin lol....I could spend days in the archeological museums. My family had problems getting me out of there, since I'd spend hours and hours there. :lol: It's fascinating.

Yeah, even looking closely at the stones looking at the cutting marks and imagining them doing the work, or something seemingly simple as a small hole and what its purpose was...

Turkey had some great places for that also, We have areas here of archaeological importance including hieroglyphs on some of our rocks that are not of Maori origin...

I cannot speak for a history museum, but art museums are really cool.
