London - day 7

Woo-hoo! This is my last London post! Today was spent on a tour to Stonehenge and the city of Bath. Once back in the city, we visited the Tower of London, the Tower Bridge, and walked across that bridge and London Bridge, which we did all at night. Unfortunately, our camera ran out of batteries at Stonehenge so we have no pictures beyond that. I will probably download some from the internet for my scrapbook pages! The city of Bath was really cool and I would've loved to have more time there, but we did get to visit the site of the original Roman Baths (still operational but not in-use) and we got to eat in the smallest pub in Bath, and walk around the town a bit.

This is what they think Stonehenge used to look like when it was complete. The largest two stones that are connected by one top, those sit right behind the alter stone, which is a bit smaller and right in front of that. On the summer solstice, the sunlight rises over another stone in the distance, goes thru two of the outer stones, and hits the alter stone.
Me listening to the audio guide.

Some of the stones have fallen over, others were stolen or used for building purposes.
The most intriguiging part is how these stones got here. They think that some of them came all the way from Whales! And this was before the wheel was invented! The largest stones are about 20 ft tall! The largest one you see to the right is one of the ones that was behind the alter stone (which is now fallen over).
Cheers!
