We didn't drop that thun thun thun.

This morning we got up early and hopped on a mini coach bus. We were headed for Stonehenge and Salisbury. It was a trip for only the Lawrence students so it was sure to be fun. We drove for a while before arriving at Stonehenge. We could see it as we approached on the road and then drove around to the visitor's center. We got our tickets and hopped on a bus to the actual site. It was incredibly cool and almost impossible to grasp how old it actually was. The site was constructed over 5000 years ago, which I still can't fully comprehend.

Mitch and Me

One of the 42 pictures Jill accidentally took while trying to take a picture of me and Mitch.

I have had two songs stuck in my head all day. This is one of them thanks to a Miss Portia Turner. (Unfortunately, the actual movie scene isn't on youtube.) (The second was thanks to Dyllan. He managed to make Don't Drop That Thun Thun our anthem for the day and sang it every chance he got.)

After spending some time at Stonehenge, we went into the gift shop and cafe. Then it was back on the bus. Our next stop was Salisbury. We went right to the Salisbury Cathedral. It was absolutely beautiful. There were some pretty cool artifacts in the cathedral also. We were able to see one of the oldest clocks in existence and a copy of the Magna Carta. 

World's oldest clock.

A fountain in the middle of the cathedral.

After the cathedral we had 3 hours before we needed to get back on the bus so a few of us went to a pub and chilled for a while. We found a pub that had been originally opened in 1411 and was called The Old Ale House. It was a really nice place and there were only a few other people there. Mallory, Ben, Jill, Dan, Dyllan, and I ate some food and had a drink. I love pubs because we sat there for 3 hours and no one cared. Once you have a table, it's your until you decide to leave. We had an amazing discussion about religion, politics and the misspelled sign by the bar. It was so great to just relax and have a nice time with everybody. We walked back to the bus and met up with everyone else and headed home. Once I got home I put on pjs, climbed in to bed and tried to get warm after being in the rain and cold all day.
