London: Stonehenge



So I skipped my last weeks in Dublin, but I wanted to post about Stonehenge because I came across an interesting article yesterday on the recent excavation findings. Marisol and I were in London for a few days and given the short amount of time there, we wanted to pack in as much tourist-worthy sights we could to truly make it worthwhile in a place rich in history and expensive as hell for us. In the end you just stop converting currency because how can one be depressed when on vacay?! I sure didn't want to be crying or bitching about how expensive things were and just wanted to go with the flow and grasp all those intoxicating feelings of bliss in traveling and enjoying London. 

Carpe diem!

We chose Evans Tours that packed in Windsor Castle, City of Bath and Stonehenge in one day; 8AM - 7PM. I have been to all three destinations before, but to me, it was another special moment to be able to visit those places once again. Especially Stonehenge. 

Our wonderful and entertaining tour guide mentioned these excavations and presumed revelations during the tour. And sure enough, it can appear that his information is quite reliable and verifiable indeed. Every bits and pieces of them. Ahhh, but Stonehenge is truly a sight to see, feel (it was sooooo windy!) and wonder about. They may appear as big, boring standing rocks to some, but the recent findings are definitely getting us closer to piecing the actual events of and surrounding Stonehenge. Mysterious it is and has been for many years, until now I believe based on those recent findings:

"The purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experiences. "
