My Life From Across The Pond: A Bunch of Rocks and a Giant Bathtub

Last weekend we went to see Stonehenge. See?

They give you an audio-tour gadget, and you walk around this set path listening to your headset and then that's it. It took about 15 minutes and then me and the people I was with were ready to get back on the bus! We thought getting back on the bus after only 15 minutes would be a little too absurd, so we ventured on over to the official Stonehenge Gift Shop, where we found some real gems. At the Stonehenge Gift Shop we found: Stonehenge earrings, a Stonehenge belly-button ring, a Stonehenge baseball cap, Stonehenge sweatshirts, Stonehenge picture books, a Stonehenge umbrella and best of all, Stonehenge socks. I wonder what it would be like to be one of the people who works at the Stonehenge Gift Shop. (Question: "So where do you work?" Answer: "Stonehenge.") But the best gem of all? Free samples of lemon curd and jelly and biscuits! I love free samples so much.

Don't get me wrong, it was neat seeing Stonehenge and all (especially since the weather was cooperating for once!) but it just wasn't exciting as this led me to believe:

Tourist.

Even more tourists!

While walking on the path, I kept getting distracted by this curious metal trailer. What on Earth was it doing there? Who lives there? Maybe The Gatekeeper of Stonehenge lives there? Seemed kind of out of place for the middle of nowhere England, right next to Stonehenge.

I was entranced by the size of this puddle. I walked over to throw stones in while my group of people went to get on the bus (only 30 minutes early! Better than 45 minutes..) A few minutes later I got on the bus too, because throwing stones in a giant puddle is only fun for exactly that amount of time.

The next stop was Bath. I kept peering into the murky green water of the Roman Baths and thinking how awful it would be if I fell in.
