June 30: Stonehenge

June 30: Stonehenge We got going pretty early, at least for us, still on NC time. We put our destination on gps and started out. It was only to be a couple hours ride to our destination but we were unsure of where we were going in terms of where the different sights are. So there we were riding down the road and then what did we see in a field on the right? Stonehenge ! We did a quick u-turn and went to see it. While it was amazing to see, it was a little disappointing because we were kept about 25ft from the actual stones. It was interesting to find that it was still a mystery as to why the stones are arranged the way they were. While walking around we spoke to many people from around the world. Again, I am reminded how culturally deficient we are in the U.S. and how overall we think everyone is, or should be, like us. While we were there we bought a pass that is good for most of the historical sites so now we have a map and guide book with most of the sites in it. In the evening we finally got to Witheridge, a TINY village. We went to the address of our host and we're pleasantly surprised to meet Laura and see the cozy room we had rented. We brought our things in and went across the street to the village pub for dinner. While there I tried a "cider" which are fermented fruits. I am sold-- cider is now officially my favorite drink. I am partial to Strong Bow classic and look forward to trying the other flavors ♡ it was a good day;photos here:        https://plus.google.com/photos/104423898538711271791/albums/6030501852736645041
