The iconic Stonehenge picture. Glad that we went, but all in all, it was a bit underwhelming. This was as close as you were allowed to get. This thing is literally in the middle of nowhere in the middle of a farm field. Great though that scientists still have no idea how they pulled this off back in the day!
The CLASSIC Stonehenge Selfie. This is our second selfie photo in our entire history of Selfie Photos.
We also visited Windsor Castle today. I have to say that this was VERY impressive. The Queen has quite the digs! This is the moat, which you can clearly see is now a lovely English Garden. I guess that they are not expecting any invasion from the northern hordes any time soon. I figure if the hordes do invade, they will stop here to admire the lovely flowers and sit by the many fountains while the Queens archers pepper them with arrows. Actually, it is a brilliant military plan!
As per English rule, you were not allowed to take photos. I did manage to sneak this one as we were walking through one of the MANY LARGE and VAST rooms FILLED with English Bling. You have to see it to believe it! This was QUITE the castle and there were guards EVERYWHERE. Heaven forbid that you help yourself to one of the thousands of gold trinkets that we walked by...
Changing of the guard at Windsor. These guys are here to guard the Queens Tea sets and other gold and silver items. The Queen was not there when we arrived so they had to be guarding her bling and not her!
Our last stop for the day was the University of Oxford, which is England's oldest university. Of course I found what I thought was the school of music. But I guess this loosely translates as "Human Condition. Funny, that I did not hear any jazz saxophone licks coming out of any building. Maybe I could get a gig teaching there when I retire? Our guide informed us that Oxford was the most expensive place to live in England...figures!
