This weekend I decided it would be fun to sign up with a student travel group and tour Stonehenge, Sainsbury, and Bath. The ride out to Stonehenge took about two hours and on the way there our tour guide decided that our bus needed some excitement. Now keep in mind that its 8:30 in the morning and this guy is wearing a pink sweater. He also has limited English skills and said that there were “too much people on ‘dis bus.” At some point he decided to take a vote to see how many people wanted to listen to music. Maybe three people raised their hand. The poor little guy who desperately wanted to listen to his Lady GaGa CD decided to compromise. He said, "Okay, we listen ten minute." Our party bus rocked out to the tunes of "Alejandro" and "Poker Face" for the next half hour as we made our way through the scenic English hills dotted with sheep.
Stonehenge
Salisbury Cathedral
The cathedral is over 800 years old and houses the Magna Carta.
the Roman Baths
The monk and I are showing with our open hand that we “come in peace.” The bath water was lukewarm even though it looks as though it’s steaming (the air was cold). When the baths were used by the Romans, people cast curses written on little pieces of paper into the spring that fed the baths. Many of the curses were found and the most common complaint was people having their bathing cloaks stolen.
Very nice (-:
