Stonehenge Rocks!!!!

Stonehenge was started being built 5000 years ago. There are many myths around the reason for stonehenge being there, one of them is that the devil bought the rocks from a ladies garden and dropped them there. Another is that king Arthur's father is buried there. Nobody really knows for sure how they got there or why they are there. Some of the rocks weigh as much as 45 tons (90,000 lbs). They were brought here from 400 kms away. 40% of the stones have been removed from the site. We took a double decker bus to get there and then toured Old Sarum (the old town site on our way back).

    You must feel like you are in the world of Giants. I hope you will have lots of pictures to share with us. Mrs. O
