Stonehenge was so neat! It's really just a pile of rocks in the middle of nowhere! Three others and I decided we didn't want to pay to go on the "inner ring" so we took pictures on the side of the row outside of a fence.
We then went on to the city of Bath where some baths built by the Romans still stand! It was such a cute town and the baths were so advanced and carefully built. The water was green as you'll see so don't worry, no one wanted or attempted to do a cannon ball in ;-)
We then stopped at a little village on the way back that reminded me of where my Aunt Sherri and her family lives because it had one road and shop that some had tea in. Very cute!
On Saturday my room mates and I went shopping in the morning but then a big group of us went to a football match (or soccer) in the early evening. It was so fun but intense! We were sitting in the neutral or away section so some of the fans were quite load and hilarious. I would compare it to a Texas A&M game, but one level or so down.
Then yesterday we went to Buckingham Palace! I apologize for the lack of pictures but we couldn't take any inside! It was so beautiful though. Everything was so rich and detailed in gold and jewels. There was actually a special exhibit going on in honor of the Queens 60-year anniversary with her husband. Her wedding gown, jewels, and wedding gifts were on display! Quite Elaborate to say the least, but still very classy and sophisticated.
Well, I'm off to class, but I hope you enjoy the pictures (again, taken by others in the group, I'm so lazy). This upcoming weekend me and 5 others are off to Amsterdam! Will let you know how it goes!
Love and miss you all! ♥♥♥
Here's a picture of the match between Manchester and Fulham--
Here is the Bath Abbey. If you can see the people in the picture, that is md and 6 of my friends. I'm on the far right--
Roman Baths--
These are just some of the carvings that would have been on the top arch on the outside to greet visitors to the baths--
The small village we stopped in for a short while--
Inside the Bath Abbey--
The gorgeous organ--
Stonehenge!
The outside of the Bath Abbey--
This is where we had lunch. It's the oldest house in bath complete with a museum of the oldest kitchen--
Buckingham--
Too bad I'm not a queen and have my own pond in my backyard. I should get on that--
Not Buckingham...Stonehenge, again--

It's okay to be lazy with the camera, Natalie as long as you have generous friends who take good pictures. Just don't forget to get some hard copies to bring home for scrapbooks! It sounds like you're having a great time over there! I love reading all about it. Jean
Natalie - I am so excited to get this link for you. It sounds like you are having a wonderful adventure.
OK, Kyle is now going to be officially jealous that you have been to a soccer game where soccer is KING!
Love ya much - have a great time!

Amazing! Absolutely amazing! Our God delights in giving us things like Stonehenge to try to figure out--He is such an awesome God!! I am enjoying taking in your experience with "HIS-story"--it can only leave you with an overwhelming need to praise our Creator and Sovereign God! We love you and miss you!
