Chapter 3
Stonehenge, Salisbury


So, here I am writing once again...
We spent 2 days in Bath, and then our tour guide Steve collected us from our hotel, for our final tour in the UK.  We went to his favorite spot in the world (I believe.)  Steve gave us an exceptional tour of Stonehenge, and all the burial mounds surrounding the area.  It is incredible, but some of the stones were actually obtained from Wales!  It is assumed that these huge boulders were log rolled, because it all happened before the invention of the wheel.  Mike thinks these people had better things to worry about...like food, so he has his own theory.




Visiting this site was spectacular.  I could not believe we were actually at Stonehenge.  It was surreal.  I'll let the stones speak for themselves.
The stone monument is in Salisbury.  This is an extremely old town, and my is it gorgeous.  They have a seminary there and our tour guide Steve is considering enrolling to become a priest.

Views of Salisbury

The stones on this church absolutely glistened..incredible.
Below is the wall (gate to the old part of the city.


I find it incredible that these old buildings are still in use.

 This gated dwelling is located within the original city gate.
