After 3 years of seeing other VC kid’s pictures of these giant rocks…it was finally our turn. We rolled out of bed and onto the bus at 2am in an attempt to make it up to Stonehenge to see the sunrise. We got there and met with Busty Taylor, the Stonehenge master who talked to us for a while before we were let in. I didn’t have my glasses on and mistook a sheep for one of the stones until I realized HOW BIG they actually are. They are HUGE. The time came for them to let us in to see the rocks and even though there was no sunset that day it didn’t matter because we were finally there and it was breathtaking. The texture on the rocks was so cool to look at up close, and once you are there you really wonder how anyone could have created it. Eric and I wandered off and did a video diary that I am hoping to get my hands on soon, because it is definitely cool to have some footage of us there in the moment. This is really my first time traveling, and I am feeling very lucky to be seeing these places although it is weird to think that the more I see means that these are just more places I might never see again. I’m not trying to be depressing, just thinking out loud!
That afternoon Alicia, Jill, Alex, Laurel & I all headed to the Tower of London. We had a great tour guide who was called a "beefeater" and he told us in order to be a beefeater you had to be in the service for at least 20 years. Alicia surprised us all by asking him if he was single during the Q&A. We also got to see the Crown Jewels and lthough they were fake they were a sight to see. It was a great place to spend the day and the weather was beautiful so we had a fun time.
