Stonehenge rocked! haha, no pun intended. It was really neat, but it was just a small part of my long weekend.
Friday I left with the school trip for Oxford, England where Oxford University is located. It's like a posh college town. We paid 3 pounds to get into Christ Church College where we took pictures of the staircase and dining hall... where parts of Harry Potter were filmed!!! Also, the author of Alice in Wonderland went to school here. John and Charles Wesley went to school here, too. We toured the church where they were both ordained. Yay for Methodists!
I stayed at my first bed & breakfast in Bath. Caitlin and I walk into our room to find that we apparently got the Honeymoon room. haha. Everyone else got single beds, but Caitlin and I had to share a double. It was pretty funny. We joked all weekend about being the newlyweds on honeymoon in Bath, England.
On Saturday we went to Wells where we toured the Cathedral and we shopped at a outdoor market. Next we went to Glastonbury to see the ruins of a Cathedral that supposedly Jesus visited! Pretty awesome!
Sunday we saw the Roman Baths... this intricate system of water and hot springs and baths that the Romans created almost 2,000 years ago. It's amazing, and parts of it still work! I took plenty of pictures at all of our stops, so check out my picture site...
I'm off to Lincoln now.. big basketball game against the Nightriders!!!!!! Go Harlaxton!
