The Aliens Have Landed

Hey all,

Yesterday was another eventful trip to the England countryside. Let's just jump right in it.


First we stopped by Jane Austen's "cottage." Though I am not in the Jane Austen class, it was nice to see the dwelling of a great literary figure.
Down the road from Jane's home, was another estate called the Great Chatwick Estate. The house and grounds were nice, but the most notable things were the sheep! I am so used to cows, seeing a large herd of sheep is a nice change. They are sort of cute too.


We then went off to Stourhead Gardens which were, as you can see, remarkable. I appreciate the limit of the urban areas in England. The amount of vast and beautiful parks is great and the countless walks one could do is fantastic!


Then last but not least, Stonehenge. I have always thought of Stonehenge as being in the middle of nowhere but this was actually next to a busy highway! You could only walk around it, but it was cool seeing the iconic ruins.

Anyway, that's another day here in England! I am just showing you the highlights - I don't think pictures of classes and homework would be as intriguing. I will update after this weekend and hopefully have many more great photos!

Cheers!
