Some Big Old Stones

Took a trip to Stonehenge and Salisbury on Friday which was pretty interesting. We went on a tour of the Salisbury Cathedral, the second tallest cathedral in Europe: 400 some-odd foot spire. Our tour guide for both Stonehenge and Salisbury was a history professor from the Syracuse London Program but I completely forgot his name like a dumb. The small town of Salisbury was interesting and surprisingly very "posh" as the Brits say when speaking of the upper-class areas and people and culture in general.
















Stonehenge was pretty interesting as well. Fascinating to image how people moved, lifted and shaped those stones. It rained in the morning but it was just sprinkling in bursts at Stonehenge when we were there and we even saw some blue sky for a bit.





Today we went to Abbey Road and the British Library with my good friend Steve. Great catching up with him and actually seeing him in London. We all getting ready to go out tonight so got to vut this a bit short but more to come tomorrow. You stay classy whoever is reading this pitiful blog.

Ciao,
Luke Warm
