This past weekend was amazing! The whole group went to Stonehenge and Bath, and it was so awesome!! Stonehenge is a complete wonder to me, I don’t even understand how these HUGE rocks could have been moved thousands of years ago, without the use of modern tools! It is amazing, and there are so many theories as to the origins and purpose of these rocks, too! It was pretty gross though, thinking about the Druid hills, with all the bodies in them of rulers and wealthier people. Jenn was pretty disgusted with it.
The actual site was amazing. I have never seen something that had so much history in my life. With so many different theories related to it, ranging from aliens, gods, to Druids, there leaves a lot to be pondered.
We also went to Bath, which is a small town known for its healing waters, which is something I definitely needed because the Fresher’s Flu has finally caught up with me! There was a lot of really great shopping there were so many awesome stores and really cute shops in tiny alley ways, giving the whole area a lot of character. There was a little pastry shop, with a bunch of young lads, working at the counter were talking with the customers about the football game that day. There was a little cookie bakery, which had AMAZING cookie, and I don’t think they had one bad cookie in the whole shop. For all the girly-girls out there… THEY HAD TONS OF SHOE STORES!!!
But, I digress…
The Roman baths were really cool, too. Another piece of history, which is also ancient and there is still more to discover, even to this day. However, the water was pretty gross, it was green from all the algae, and they don’t treat the water with chemicals either. There were a ton of artifacts all around the museum, showing the viewers what the Roman Baths may have looked like all those years ago when Rome was present in England. This place was absolutely gorgeous with all the ancient arcitechure still prevelant throught the city. Like the Royal Cresent, which is now about 70 apartments all worth about $60,000,000 each.
When we finally got back from the rainy field trip, I was more sick than I had been before I left in the morning, so I guess the healing waters didn’t work after all… or maybe rain just canceled everything the healing water had done for me! However, I have some exciting news!!!
Drum roll please …
I’M GOING TO AMSTERDAM, PARIS & DISNEY, AND ROME!!! AHHHH!!
