A Day In England

Today was an exciting day! We were picked up by the tour bus at 8:00 a.m. which began our all day tour. Our first stop was Windsor Castle, which is one of the residences of the Queen. There, we were lucky to see an unscheduled changing of the guard, and it even included a full musical performance by some of the guardsmen.

Next, we drove 2 hours to visit the Roman Baths in the city of Bath. This is an amazing place with lots of history, narrow streets and stone buildings. We were even told that Nicolas Cage recently bought a house there after falling in love with Bath while filming National Treasure.

Our last stop of the day was Stonehenge. I have to say, we were most excited about this part of the tour. We were told that Stonehenge dates back to around 2000 B.C. and still, to this day, no one can confirm its origin or purpose.
