It is a bit hard to describe visiting places that have such a vast history. In the U.S. We are awed by 200-300 year old places, on this journey in was not unusual to be in the rhelm of several thousand years old. There was, of course, the majesty of Stonehenge in all of its glory. Our three separate visits into the stones gave us perspective of spacing & height, light & shadow and amazement at the ancients that built it. It was also amazing to see the details such as axe & dagger markings from 1500 B.C.! In addition to the stones we experienced burial mounds, the cursus, Avebury stones, Woodhenge & Durrington Walls history & the Tor in Glastonbury. Moving through history we enjoyed castle ruins and churches that celebrate a 1000 year history. All are such testaments to our ancestors.
Then there were the people of today. Barb, Emma and I throughly enjoyed meals with our group of fellow travelers, hikes through many a pasture, car rides through beautiful "highways", and conversations that ranged from the ordinary to the extrodinary where we got to know each other better. In such time we too built upon our own history of experiences. What an amazing time we each had!
