Phew what a day! The day started at about 5:30am. Everyone in my group took a 3 hour bus ride to see Stonehenge. It was awesome! The only downfall to the day was the TORRENTIAL downpour that never stopped. The pictures seemed to come out okay though, so that was good news!
Stonehenge was better than what I expected. Just knowing that where I stood today was where Romans were was insane to me. It was so rainy when I got there that I dropped my camera on the cement in front of Stonehenge but no worries it still works fine!
It's so crazy how all of those stones got there. It's still kind of debated as to how they did but that's the cool part! It was a very mysterious place. I also learned that across the field from Stonehenge are a bunch of massive grave sites. It was just a crazy very rememberable experience.
After Stonehenge we drove another hour to the city of Bath. Bath is where the Romans used to ...well bathe. It was kind of like a huge social gathering place for them. The city was full of buildings dating all the way back to the 1400s. It was amazing to see. The baths themselves were actually in really great condition. I took some great pictures and videos of them and even touched the water (even though I wasn't supposed to)! The water was really warm! Overall, it was a really great day. It's so hard to explain my experiences at these places because they are just so historic and incredible...it's very hard to explain it when I could hardly believe I was standing there myself!
Tomorrow I will be observing a high school class in Plymouth. Should be pretty interesting!! I also have to get some work on my second project done so my blogs today and tomorrow will probably be a little shorter than normal!
I hope everyone had a great day!
Cheers,
Tara

Hi there traveler, You have just expressed just how I felt in Italy and never could. Your trip and experiences are so great. You go girl! Love, Grannie L.
P.S. I hope you do find a person you can be a pen pal with. I agree with you Dad it would be so much fun over the years. You would be educating each other. You have a lot to share. Love, G.L.
My mom asked me today "Do you read Tara's blog?" And I said "I didn't know she had one! Do you?????" and she does hehe. If that's my "Grannie L" then I think its funny that she actually wrote "You go girl!" hahhahah. I'm glad you're having a blast there... reading your posts makes me extremely jealous of your opportunity to go abroad. I hope you're having the time of your life. I loved your project on tombstoning. I have never heard of that! Can't wait to hear about your stories when you return. When do you get back?? Cookout at my mom's house Wednesday night if you're in town. I hope you are!
Love,
