Stonehenge

On Sunday of our visit to London, we spent the day away from the city, on a trip to Stonehenge and the town of Bath. I think Stonehenge was my favorite part of the trip. It's hard to imagine people building this structure with primitive hand tools, and the stone had to travel quite a few miles to get to the site. Astonishing.

Our guide, Debbie, told us that there's also a Woodhenge--but it hasn't held up as well.

Home From Our Holiday

In the US, we go on vacation. In Europe, they go "on holiday". We've just returned from a "holiday" in London.

London proper, is home to 7 million people, with 5 million more in the greater London area. It's an amazingly busy, vibrant city, with huge crowds everywhere. For this small-town girl, it was quite an experience. I'll try to remember that I'm back in the south and shoving past people is frowned upon.
