Stonehenge and Bath

Stonehenge is massive! But it's kinda like the Grand Canyon, everyone tells you its just a really big hole in the ground and then when you see it really is just a big hole in the ground (a pretty hole, but still just a hole). That's Stonehenge, it's just a bunch of really big rocks. And it really is just a bunch of REALLY big rocks formed in a circle. It was cool to actually be there and see what all the hype was about.

Bath is a really old city, from before 1500 something. It has beautiful old building and an infamous Roman Bath, that is replenished by a natural spring. But something is weird about the water since no one is allowed to actually touch the water, not sure what but found that odd. We really just wandered for a couple hours, but I did find out that the city was home to Jane Austen. I love her books so I was excited to stop by a museum dedicated to her and bought a copy of Sense and Sensibility.
Oh, yeah. . . there were these crazy pigs all over the place. Most were just hanging out on the sidewalk but some were in trees and one was even in chains.
