The big day!

Yesterday was a very long but exciting day for the group. We spent our day outside of London where we got to see a national monument, a historical city, and a historical temple. After eating half of the wonderful continental breakfast in our hotel which consisted of burnt toast, canned fruit, and corn flakes we headed out early. We first when to the national monument Stonehenge, one of the most famous sites in the world. Stonehenge was built around 5,000 years ago. This monument is significant because it is a very unique icon as well as the location. The location is magnificent, but no where near by are any stones. The stones they used they had to move 90-240 miles. The large stones weight up to 50 tons each. The smaller stones are called blue stones, because they are actually warmer to touch then other stones. The blue stones are the stones they had to move 240 miles. 

  

Next we went to Bath, England which is known for its rich heritage and impressive architectural sights. The heart of the city is the Roman Bath's. This is one to be known as the only hot spring around Britain. The water from the spring was to be healing water. People all over the world would travel to drink the water. It was suppose to cure the sick and help women who were having difficulties conceiving a child. My friends were joking around about throwing me into the spa in hope to cure my medical issues. 

At the end of the tour there is a place where you can drink the water. I tried it, the water is warm and taste like minerals...yum! :/

Walking through the city there was many performer on the streets. This lady was probably the coolest we saw that day.
