Thursday August 26
We took a trip to Stone Henge, a place I have wanted to go since I saw it in an episode of the cartoon Mighty Max when I was little in which the site had ancient magical powers affecting time and space. It was anti climactic to learn that it was just a bunch of rocks and that the mystery had been deciphered about who made it and when. It was built around 3,000 BC and by the English, or whoever lived there at the time. They built it so that the sun rises on a specific stone at special times throughout the year; the solstices and equinoxes.

With our tour we got to see Old Septum, which was just reminants of a castle, very few reminants of a castle. One of the only things that was left and clearly identifiable was the bathroom, which I decided not to use. The best part really was going to the town of Salisbury, which still looks like a medieval town because of the layout and because many old buildings still stand.
