Stonehenge

Stonehenge was amazing! In spite of the touristy atmosphere (hundreds of people encircling it at every moment of the day), it is awe-inspiring. People are no longer allowed to enter the circle without special permission so there's a walkway around it. We circled counterclockwise around the monument as tourists and pilgrims always seem to do at shrines, sharing part of our trek with a howling 2-year old. She eventually calmed down, much to everyone's relief.

I was half-way around the circle before it hit me that I was actually standing at STONEHENGE, a place I had only read about & seen on television. I wanted to call everyone I knew and invite them to join me. I never in my wildest dreams expected to be there.
