The first place we went to had similar rocks placed about to Stonehenge. However, it was more of a town than Stonehenge. It had the original buildings and then right next to it was the one more modern made out of brick. The roof of those homes are made out of straw, manure, and something else. Cost a lot to replace now and to maintain it I suppose. And some of the buildings that were damaged used rocks or stones of before to fill in the holes. Recycling existed back then. It was Avebury with the town and the stones.
Stonehenge is neat. Interesting is the better word. It was COLD though. The first place we went was cold and started to rain. Horrible really. However, it was smaller than I thought it would be. It is interesting to know where you stood once had people living there or creating the structure. One of the last rocks that was not on its proper side (cannot remember which side it was suppose to be) looked like a turtle’s head when it is coming out of its shell.
Seeing the last site of a church and all of its find details that the guide really did not have to say made it odder. Archaeologist looking through waste that people had left behind in a 38 foot deep well is not something we would like to hear after eating our lunches. Most of the area has chalk underneath it. And I even saw some animal I think that was done in chalk on the ground. It was visible from the bus. Old Sarum is where this place was.
There was no sun today. Monster Munch Flamin’ Hot was a disappointment. I found it to be salty and taste like pork rinds. Forget that I am going to get biscuits instead.
