Ross and I did a super touristy activity and joined a travel group to Stonehenge and Bath. It is on our list of attractions to see and it was best to cross them both off the list, since they aren’t too far from each other.
Stonehenge is something I’ve always wanted to see. I can’t really explain why, other than I think it’s something I always heard about and read about in textbooks. So I was thrilled to have the opportunity to see these rocks {which is really what it boils down to: stones, very large stones}.
Seeing Stonehenge was a bit surreal {Am I really here? Pinching myself} and a bit disappointing {Oh, this is it? Just rocks in the middle of an open field?}.
The rocks are unbelievably giant in my mind, though I heard some people say it was a lot smaller than they envisioned. And while we got to walk all the way around the puzzling stones {there are various theories on the creation and history of this world wonder}, I had hoped to touch the rocks. I don’t know why, I’m sure that it feels like most rocks, but to say that I was able to physically touch a really old stone {I say really old because I don’t even know when it was built, although I should know from the audio guide I listened to…} would maybe give me some sort of bragging rights {maybe…}.
In any case, without further ado, feast your eyes on Stonehenge…

Just to prove that we were actually there, we had to join all the other tourists in taking selfies ;).
