Most of the day was spent on a bus traveling from Bawtry to Salisbury. Toward the end of our journey, we stopped by a lesser known historic site in England called Stonehenge. :) We enjoyed our time walking around the henge as we learned of the place's significance. No, this place was probably not created by Merlin, giants, or the aliens, but by dedicated, creative, and strong people. Though Stonehenge was smaller than anticipated by us, the original users of the place surely found it emposing and majestic as they would approached from the river below. The commitment and expertise to move the 5,000 lb stone slabs from Wales is a testament of resolve and creativity. It is almost impossible to take in the fact Stonehenge has stood for 5,000 years.
Upon return to Salisbury, we ventured out in search of traditional English food and ended up enjoying excellent Indian food with friends. If you ever travel to England, you must partake in Indian food here.
We forgot to mention that we checked in with our almost 4 year old son Drew. The first sentence from Drew's mouth was "I'm cutting." There is nothing quite like the panic you fell from thousands of miles away when you hear those words. Thankfully, Grandma Olsen made sure they were kid scissors as he was cutting the dead heads off of flowers.
Thanks to the grandparents for all of your help!
