This weekend was very very eventful and full of tourist-y citings! 

On Saturday we went to the local farmers market, then I did some work for my classes. We had our first snowfall in Bath on Saturday!


Sunday was our trip to Stonehenge, Salisbury, and Lacock.

Located in the county of Wiltshire, it's surrounded by country side and burial grounds that apparently contain some neolithic elite class! whoaaa. The stones are believed to date back to 3200 BC. It was almost too cold to enjoy it so the visit was very brief. The bus was much warmer.

Then we went to Salisbury, established in 1220. Fun fact, Richard III was hung here. It also houses a really sweet Cathedral, built in 1220, and it only took 38 years to build, which is a real accomplishment. It has one of the 4 original copies of the Magna Carta, and the world's oldest working clock. It's got some pretty cool burial tombs of famous royal people. 
Then we went to Lacock, founded by Ela, who was a pretty powerful countess. We had dinner at King George's Inn, very nom. 

Bed time! class starts tomorrow!
