World Wanderings

Stonehenge was the main attraction today. I rose promptly at 9ish with just enough time to get tithe tour bus that would take me there. Along the way I really got to thinking just how much history everyhing here has, compared to the US. All of the houses and structures melding into the surrounding landscape. Vines, shrubbery and trees have slowly crep over everything, in an attempt to reclaim the land for itself.

Roads are narrow, the side of the road is almost overflowing with nature. Often the bus would pass within mere inches of surrounding trees and other various plants. This was everywhere.

The brick buildings looked like they had always been there (and probably had). Although some looked as though they were strugglig to keep above ground, as parts slowly fell to ruins.

Stonehenge was interesting to finally see in person. It's actually smaller than I was expecting, and positioned very close to two roads. Lwhich split around it. It's amazing how precise everything is. How measurements could be made with such accuracy before the advent of modern tools.

Well more on this all tomorrow. I have two men in my room competing in a snoring war (I think one just woke himself up). I'm off to put in my earbuds and attempt to sleep.
