Today, we were planning to go on the London Walks Tour of Stonehenge (we did the Shakespeare-Dickens Walk a few days ago. See this post), but it was too much money so we decided to just go ourselves.
It was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here's a bunch of photos I took:

Here's another one, long overdue, from the Eiffel Tower...
If you can't hear what I'm saying, e-mail me at marphclon@gmail.com and I'll send you a transcript.
Stonehenge was built over 4,000 years ago by ancient people (some were even buried there!). In the visitor's center museum, they had a recreation of the head of one of those people. He was between 35 and 40 years old when he died! They even had his skeleton.
There were different stones: one of them was called the Slaughter Stone. It's not really for slaughtering, though...
Check out this website and see if you can find out more about Stonehenge. E-mail me with some more facts!
Through my eyes, it was very interesting. The audio guides gave detailed descriptions of each segment of the sculpture (or whatever it was meant to be).
Anyway, yesterday also saw us going to Salisbury Cathedral and climbing on the detailed sculptures.

We went home on a 1½ hour train ride and then home on the Tube. I got the summer edition for Total Film (see cover below) from WH Smith for £3.99.
Tomorrow we'll be going to the Victoria and Albert Museum, named for Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Plus, the British Museum and downtown walks.
