Trip to Bath and Stonehenge

So it's been a while since my last post, but I'm very much alive and having a blast!  The past week has flown by but was capped off by a day trip to Bath and Stonehenge yesterday.  By far one of my favorite days since I've been here.  Bath was an amazing town with a really great feel, gorgeous countryside all around it, not to mention the great 2000 year old Roman Baths.  So cool!  Then after spending the entire morning at Bath and around the town we took an hour long bus ride to Stonehenge.  Stonehenge was possibly one of the coolest things I've ever seen.  You're just driving along through the farm land, looking at pretty much the same scenery for close to an hour, and then all of a sudden it's there.  This 5000 year old rock structure with rocks quarried 200 miles away and now line up with stars.  Really really cool and just fascinating.  A great end to a fun week!
