It was a dark and rainy day, the skies predicting doom and gloom. The wind was fierce on the plains of Salisbury as ghosts were resurrected from the beginning of time. One could almost feel these soulless creatures floating by.
OK you get the idea. It was windy and rainy but that did not stop us! The following pics are various views of this mysterious place.
These sheep were grazing next to Stonehenge. Interestingly, the sheep all have numbers painted on their sides in various colors. The little lambs are painted the same color and have the same numbers as their moms.

I am not one for buying souvenirs, but if I were...this was pretty darn cute.
After Stonehenge, we went on to Bath where our first order of business was trying to find a place to park. Remember when Chevy Chase was trying to get around London and he kept seeing Big Ben over and over? Well, that was us only in Bath. Once parked we went to the Jane Austen Center (which was awesome). Please note that I am posting this blog on Janey C's birthday--HAPPY BIRTHDAY JANEY! Enjoy the pics and pretend you are right there with us!

Just had to add this pic of the "Dollar Store." It was in the more modern section of town. Stay tuned for our next trip to Oxford and Stratford.
