Burj Khalifa opening

On January 4th the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa (previously known as Burj Dubai), officially opened in Dubai.  It is 828 meters high with over 165 (inhabitable) floors & was rigged with fireworks shooting off of it.  Quite a sight!

Holiday in England

I spent Christmas this year in the Wiltshire area of England, which was quite lovely.  While there I visited the picturesque city of Bath (the Roman baths were most interesting) & made an obligatory quick stop at Stonehenge.
