Today we visited Stonehenge! We left the hotel this morning bright an early at 7:30am! We visited Windsor Castle first which was beautiful. Then we went to Stonehenge where we ate lunch first at Stonehenge Inn, it was a cute little restaurant.
When we finished we drove about 5 minutes down the road and there were these unusual mounds everywhere which come to find out are burial mounds! I was amazed how many there were.
Then we come over a hill and there it was the infamous Stonehenge! Which is almost breathe taking when you first see it. You see it in your history books, you don't believe really how it got to be there, but then when you see it, its incredible!
*If you look closely in the picture you can see all the people surrounding it! It really shows you the size of the stones! It was a spectacular day!
One thing none of us expected to see was a group of people called the Druids who were doing one of their rituals. Not going to lie it was strange!
When you are walking towards the stone you go under a tunnel which has some really interesting painting on the walls. One picture shows what Stonehenge looked like when it was first built. Another shows a large group of men pulling the large stone to the top of the hill!
We had a great day!!!
I know I can speak for myself and the rest of the students when I say thank you! Thank you to everyone at Ivy Tech that made this possible and to Kelly Cozart and Nancy Grammer for taking time away from there families and while there making sure we got the most out of every opportunity!! THANK YOU!!
