England has a lot more going for it than just London

Windsor- the town where the Queen's main castle is located. She actually happened to be in there when I went. Didn't see her though.







Bath
- home of the ancient Roman baths. The water looks really funky, feels hot and kinda smells weird but the Romans loved it back in the day









Stonehenge
-it was an interesting experience being there. After taking a tour and hearing the audio guide and all of that I feel like no one really has a clue of what it's all about. Some think it's some sort of alter, but they don't get what would possess people to erect it there. The people who are thought to be the builders are supposedly called the "Beaker people," cuz when they found 1,500 year old remains near the monument, the people were buried with Beakers [in England, little cylindrical glasses are called beakers]. That's the best historians and archaeologists can really do. 1,500 year old mystery...pretty cool
