The First of Many Travels

{Sheep in the countryside}

Last Saturday FIE sponsored free trips for us to see Stonehenge and the city of Bath, our first travel outside of London. Watching the English countryside roll by as we traveled there was beautiful.  Stonehenge was definitely something I wanted to see myself but it was freezing and windy and there really isn’t much to see so we made that stop quick.  Our tour guide told us about an excavation National Geographic did near Stonehenge that sounded more intriguing than Stonehenge. Click the link to learn more. The city of Bath was gorgeous and it happened to be Jane Austen day so there were many people running around dressed up for it. The Roman baths were very cool to see, the roman engineering was impressing.  I wish we could have spent more time there because I didn’t really get the opportunity to walk around and explore its treasures, perhaps I’ll get to go back!
