Salisbury Cathedral and Stonehenge.

Today was the first field trip this semester (yay!)... well really the first one since like sixth grade. We went to Salisbury Cathedral and Stonehenge. Can I just say... so cool. Like for real. They are both beautiful places and even though my feet are killing me I am very glad that I got to go! 

So first we went to Salisbury to see the cathedral. It was a lot bigger than I was anticipating but it was absolutely gorgeous (like Ithaca!). Possibly the coolest part of the cathedral was getting to see one of the four surviving copies of the Magna Carta. Looking at that document was beyond cool. Next year it will be 800 years old...that is more than twice the age of The United States. That's crazy. 

After our tour we had some free time to walk around the town. We stopped at Cupcake Heaven (which was indeed heaven). They had gluten-free cupcakes and mine was delicious. 

We also stopped at a fruit stand and I bought some delicious fresh raspberries!

Next we went to the coolest stop of the day: Stonehenge. It was incredible. I was slightly disappointed that we were allowed inside the circle it was still super cool. The best (and also worst) part about going was that Obama showed up... less than half an hour after we left. How unlucky is that? HOW COOL WOULD THAT HAVE BEEN?!?!?

I also made one of the best purchases of my trip thus far: Stonehenge Strawberry wine. YES. You read that right. Wine. It is so delicious. I'm considering ordering it online (because it is way worth the 7 pound post fee). 

Well, that's pretty much it for the trip!
