Happy birthday Lucy. Well we are off to Stonehenge. Should be a less intense and more relaxing day than those in the past. We have the day planned out by others. It is guided and we already have the hostel and bags in the hostel. They are filming "Vanity Fair" here today, so that will be something to remember when it comes out.

Stonehenge was large, but they really did not know anything about them. but I guess that is why they are a wonder. It was more of a slow day, which was nice. Avebury is a huge circle of stones. Jenn said she could have done without them, but I thought it was very impressive. The two other places were little medieval looking towns, more like time capsules, which were neat looking, but really not too significant. It is off to Oxford tomorrow. Jenn has a list of things that are there, but I am not too excited about it.

Happy Birthday Lucy, soon to be Mommy. The thing I remember about Stonehenge is that it was really out in the middle of nowhere. These stones were huge, stacked like they were, and nothing for miles and miles. It takes a pretty strange thing to be as mysteries now as it was a 1000 years ago. This last picture is a pyramid that has been covered by grass over the years, but the guide said underneath it is white stone, built by some unknown people. The stuff in Europe is older than the US, and the stuff in Rome (yes I know that is still Europe) was even older. It really make you want to visit Cairo and see the pyramids and see things that have stood for ages and ages.
