The next few days, using Bath as our home base, we visited all the major tourist attractions in the area.  First was Stonehenge.  Paula, who’d seen it during a previous trip, told me it used to be visible from the road — not any more.  Now, people have to park and either walk a mile through an open field where sheep are grazing (sheep graze practically everywhere in Ireland and England) or take a bus to the site.  We, along with most of the tourists, took the bus.  Once there, we were dropped off near a path which circles around the ruins.  For fifteen minutes, Paula and I walked around, gazing at the huge stones and taking pictures from different vantage points.

Then, it began to rain, and everyone headed for the buses.  We only spent a short time at Stonehenge, but it was well worth it to see a place I’d read about since childhood.  Another item off the bucket list!

On our way back to Bath, we took the winding scenic route.  We passed small villages, pastures, sheep, cattle, farmhouses, more sheep and cyclists.  There were even a couple of horses … in the middle of the road!

I love England!
