But it was so windy and rainy anyways that we were just worried about getting in a few pictures. Great story btw. I've read that the Druids used it as a burial ground, didn't hear about the human sacrifices, but they have found remains near there, so one of those stories has to be true ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16086099955651501342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1480576477195404428.post-44989699944813812912014-01-26T17:31:12.046+01:002014-01-26T17:31:12.046+01:00Thanks Deanna!Thanks Deanna!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16086099955651501342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1480576477195404428.post-45549253617747136902014-01-23T21:41:52.817+01:002014-01-23T21:41:52.817+01:00hey there!

Wow! It was one of my places to go. ...Stonehenge! Wow! It was one of my places to go. You're right about all the stories connected to them. I'm a huge fan and believer of King Arthur and Merlin. So my favourite story is that Merlin transported them by magic from northern Ireland, across the Irish Sea down into Wiltshire. It is said to have been used by Druids as a holy place. Druids were big on using human sacrifices. When I was there, there was no gift shop, nothing like that. You parked and then walked up the hill to Stonehenge itself. I wanted to touch one of the stones. I had no idea that it was fenced off. I understand why but I was so disappointed. At the time there was no there but me and I tried to get one of the guards to take me and just let me touch it but it didn't happen. But overall it was everything I had wanted it to be.<br />After I left Stonehenge I went down to Winchester to see the cathedral singing that silly song all day. Winchester always has been and still is an army town. Part of the old fort or whatever is still there and in one of the main room is King Arther's Round Table (supposedly). Fun place!<br />Thanks for helping bring my memories back.<br />Cathy<br />Cathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1480576477195404428.post-46378330197044704552014-01-21T20:18:35.874+01:002014-01-21T20:18:35.874+01:00I don't know why but Stonehenge is always been...I don't know why but Stonehenge is always been a place I've always found interesting and would like to visit if I ever make it to the U.K.<br />Thanks for the lovely pictures and the information.<br />DeniseDenise @ secondtimearoundfindshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02390042477089909335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1480576477195404428.post-49804727545002661992014-01-21T14:41:34.945+01:002014-01-21T14:41:34.945+01:00to actually be able to visit there...how wonderful...to actually be able to visit there...how wonderful! :) Deb @ Frugal Little Bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13091419343402163298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1480576477195404428.post-69025910706292212962014-01-20T15:51:23.252+01:002014-01-20T15:51:23.252+01:00Beautiful photos...Beautiful photos...Muza-chanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09397251511678040458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1480576477195404428.post-39637240685344203432014-01-18T23:02:35.178+01:002014-01-18T23:02:35.178+01:00Beautiful pictures!
