don't drink the water (STONEHENGE!)

7/19/10

Today, we went to Stonehenge!

It was insanely cool. Totally worth the 2.5 hour bus drive. I will show you pictures (of which I took a ton), but know this: It really is as amazing as everyone says.

Afterwards, we headed to the old Roman Baths. They were also pretty insanely awesome. Being somewhere with that much history, that is so unfathomably old is pretty intense. Again, the pictures are pretty good at illustrating this.

One bad thing: When we had finished walking around, I went to buy a glass of the water, which the pump up from the natural hot spring and will sell you in a glass to drink for about the equivalent of USD75 cents. I figured, hey! It’s history. Sure, I’ll drink it.

Bad choice.

It tasted like blood. That’s about the most accurate description I have for it. It was hot, smelled like rotten eggs, and was disgustingly metallic. But did I drink it? YES. I paid for it, afterall.

In conclusion: Go to Stonehenge. Go to the Baths. But don’t drink the water.
