In the spirit of soaking up the culture of England, a few of my friends and I decided it was necessary to make a trip to Stonehenge. When my bosses asked me what my plans were for the weekend, and I told them where I was going, they said they couldn't wait for me to come back to work on Monday to report to them that it was just a pile of rocks. Apparently that's the review they've gotten from every American intern they've had so far, and it's not hard to see why.
Really, that's what it is--a formation of rocks placed in a circle. But the burning question, and I guess what's supposed to be amazing about it, is "how did they get there?" According to my audiotour, it could have been aliens...go figure. I'm making it sound like we had a really bad time, but it was definitely worth it for the experience--we had a lot of fun (mostly we made our own)! We took a lot of fun pictures jumping and posing in front of the rocks and after completing our walk around the circular path, we got back on the bus and headed to Bath.
Bath was unlike anything I've ever seen. It's required that every building there be made out of bath stone, so everything is really uniform looking, but it has this quaint little feel that was so amazing. We went to see the Roman Baths, which was really cool and ate at Sally Lunn's Buns, the oldest restaurant in the town.
I love sightseeing, and I love looking back at pictures even more. Jess tagged me on Facebook in some really awesome pics from our Stonhenge trip, so you can check them out if you want!
