Trip to Stonehenge and Salisbury
Yesterday I was fortunate to visit the famous Stonehenge. It was really quite remarkable to be able to see a 5000 year old architectural structure and the mathematical genius that went behind it. Around Stonehenge are mounds that were used for burials almost 4000 years ago!
