... ritual which we got to watch. This particular ritual only happens once a year. There are three different rituals that happens around midsummer, at different points of the day. It was very interesting to watch. One minute, all you see are tourists snapping photo after photo in front of the structure, and then the next thing you know there is a big line of people dressed in long white cloaks walking towards the sacred stones.
