Stonehenge and Bath

In early August our friends Latina and Nyron fron New York came out to visit us. We had some good times in London and even ate some Mexican food (yes, there really is Mexican food in London, and its quite good, really). We did a lot of walking and saw some Shakespeare. We also took a bus tour outside of London to Stonehenge and Bath.

Stonehenge - according to Spinal Tap this is the place where "banshees live and they do live well". We didn't see any banshees but we certainly saw some very old rocks put in strange positions. It was interesting being there and thinking how much effort must have gone in to making Stonehenge, especially before things like cranes and backhoes and semi trucks. They still haven't figured out what the purpose of Stonehenge was so we can all have our theories.

Bath was fun and the Roman baths were really interesting. They've done a great job of preserving the site and have audio guides that explain everything you could possibly want to know. The town also had a strange pig exhibition going on, so that there were pigs just about everywhere you looked. Susy, you would have been like a pig in.... Well, let's just say you would have been very happy.
