Stonehenge

While here in London a bishop told me the difference between America and England.  In America everything is big! Houses are big, monuments and tourist attractions are big, i.e. The GRAND Canyon.  He said in England it is much different.  England itself is about the size of Utah, but instead of 3 million inhabitants England has 62 million.  He said rather than attractions and historical sites being BIG, they are old.  It does not matter how big the tree is, it is how old.  Many British people always joke and ask how old our country is.  It is quite bothersome. 

So in going to Stonehenge, of course being American I was imagining in my head HUGE stones spread out so one would have to be a quarter of a mile back to even get them all in one picture.  I was mistaken.  Stonehenge was small but beautiful, mindboggling even.  It may have been small but the stones themselves were huge and they would have had to been carried from a long ways away.  It’s crazy.  

Stonehenge is located in Wiltshire, it is a circular set of stones that are believed to have put there around 2500 BC.  It is not known who put the stones here, so that is where the fun was, making up our own crazy stories- but it could have happened. 

And of course- no trip is complete with out the matching sweatshirts.
