Stonehenge
We stopped at Stonehenge on our way to Bath and I was just as awed as the last time I saw it. One of the people in our group wasn't that impressed--or so it seemed--but my wife and I were pretty amazed. I hadn't been since I was a kid, and although it seems silly to say so, a lot has changed.
The biggest change was that when I was a kid, you could walk right up to the stones and touch them. You can't do that anymore, it's now roped off. Which is kind of a shame. You still can appreciate what an amazing thing Stonehenge is by looking at it. Those rocks are big. But it really instills a sense of just how massive they are when you can stand at their base and reach out to touch them.
