Bath, Stonehenge and Lacock

Today we took a bus into Bath. We walked around for a couple hours, ate a picnic lunch on a bridge and shopped. We met our tour guide in front of the Abbey of Bath. He took us on a tour in his van with about ten other people through the countryside, past cottages with thatched roofs, farmhouses and pubs . It took about an hour to get to Stonehenge , after that we went to Lacock National Trust, a village that has been in many movies including two of my favorites, Harry Potter and Pride and Prejudice ! Now we are trying to get the Laundry here to work. I just rang out our clothes by hand and put them thru the dryer again. It's late and we wake up early for our bus to London tomorrow. As of tomorrow, I will be without a computer for the next five days. Monday is London, Tuesday we fly to Rome, Thursday we fly to Paris and we will be back here Friday night. So until then- Cheers!

The River Avon, and the Pulteney Bridge

Our lunch, delicious Pasties (rhymes with nasty).



There are really just no words to describe actually being there. And it is NOT just a pile of rocks in the middle of nowhere, like some flight attendant friend of mine who shall remain nameless, said. John and I walked the whole way around it (not too far) and took pictures from every angle. Time flew by, when I asked someone the time, we had only five minutes to get back to the bus! It felt like we had just got there.


first there was Strawhenge , then there was Stickhenge.......

Your pictures are too awesome. It is so beautiful out there. I hope the English appreciate it all!

It even looks better that England in EPCOT, but I'm sure that's just a trick of the camera...

BTW - this is my first blog comment ever! Very exciting.

Keep posting if possible!
