Oooo, dramatic.
To an American, it is rare to see something so old as Stonehenge. Built 2000 years before the birth of christ, we know very little about Stonehenge's purpose. We know that the stones come from far away, and that there were burials around the site. It may have been a place of worship, healing, or simply a calendar. But I'm not here to give you a history lesson, that's what Wikipedia is for. My experience was wonderful. I went on an early bus, so I got to spend about an hour at the site. I listened to the (entire) audio tour, and really took my time enjoying the site. At Bath, I enjoyed a walk through the museum and around the baths, and drank some of the water. It tasted like iron, or sulfur. Like bleeding gums or sucking on a penny. But apparently it will heal me of all my ails, so I guess it was worth it? I got some pictures, at any rate!
Warning: Absurd number of landscape pictures at the end...sorry
