Today was an early morning but it was ok I wasn't as tired as I thought I would be. We all met at the train station and headed to Salsbury. We went to the Salsbury Cathedral and had a tour. They could only take a certain amount of people on the tours and so one person had to go alone so I volunteered and I was happy I did I met some really cool Norweigans and a cute couple from California. The tour was to take us up through the inside of the church like up in all of the rafters and up inside the spire and then once you got to the top of the spire you could go outside of it and check out the view of Salsbury. I was really struck by the stained glass because I really love all of the colors and the detail. I found the tour to be so interesting, kind of tiring because of all of the stairs but the view was completely worth it. I took some pics of the inside of the spire and the way that they constructed it just blew my mind. It took a full century to build which is actually pretty quick for those times. After the tour we had a little bit of free time so I found a bench and took a little cat nap and then woke up and sketched the Cathedral. Afterwards we took taxis over to Stone Henge which was fun. I never really thought that I would actually see it in person but I was so glad that I did. It is out in the middle of nowhere and to try and figure out how they transported the rocks to the site was crazy because they said that the rocks came from Wales which is quite a trip especailly lugging around rocks that way several tons. I still prefer to believe that they were built by aliens. He He. Anyway we headed back to London and then Erika and I found this fun sports bar not too far from our flat and just relaxed with some drinks and talked about our adventures.
