Stonehenge

Our B&B is located wonderfully, so we only had a few steps to go for the pick-up spot for a tour to Stonehenge, about an hour's drive from Bath through beautiful villages. On the way we saw one of the famous "chalk horses" carved high into the hillsides hundreds of year ago. We kept our eyes peeled for UFOs and crop circles... nothing to report on those.
Stonehenge is amazing. It is one of those "life spots" for me that I am glad I have had the chance to see... especially on the eve of the summer solstice; they are expecting 50,000 people there overnight! The audio tour that is provided is full of information, and I learned that most scholars do not think that it was a Druid site at all (despite the fact that they will be prominently featured for the solstice). Neither of us felt any sort of emotional/spiritual energy there, which somewhat surprised me.
Returning to the city, we explored streets at leisure, and then took the river walk ... just a beautiful, peaceful place with stunning views in every direction.
Happy Father's Day to all the dads, and all those who are who have been as fathers (teachers, coaches, mentors of all sorts). Yes, mine has had both extremes: Great joy at being greeted by Kel, Steve, Kayla and Aidan and great pain at missing Katie.
One last night in Bath, then it is on to the Cotswolds.
