As we have previously discussed, though, I think that you would enjoy the Winter Solstices much more. First off, they are colder -- which you inherently prefer. Secondly, there are a couple of thousand people -- instead of tens of thousands. Third, they only last for a couple of hours around the dawn, whereas the Summer Solstice celebrations last all night. And, finally, the atmosphere is much more reverent at the Winter Solstice; most people coming for the Summer one treat it as a big party (with much in the way of drugs and alcohol).
After accompanying me to Summer Solstice at Stonehenge in 2007, cheshcat has declined to go back. The atmosphere simply did not sit well with her. She much prefers the Winter Solstice experience... and she doesn't even like cold!
