Stonehenge

When I went to Arizona and my cousin offered to take us to the Grand Canyon, I was like "it's just a big hole in the earth". Boy was I WRONG. It was the most beautiful sites I have ever seen. When I think of Stonehenge, I think - it's just a bunch of rocks...but I HAVE GOT TO SEE IT! More importantly, Lina and I need a head shot of it to add to our book o'travels...(along with Big Ben and Eiffle Tower).

But, at any rate I am so excited to go traveling through the English Countryside. I'm hoping to swing by Salisbury on our journey to Stonehenge.

So here is the dealie-o...Stonehenge is surely Britain's greatest national icon, symbolizing mystery, power and endurance. Its original purpose is unclear to us, but some have speculated that it was a temple made for the worship of ancient earth deities. It has been called an astronomical observatory for marking significant events on the prehistoric calendar. Others claim that it was a sacred site for the burial of high-ranking citizens from the societies of long ago.

While we can't say with any degree of certainty what it was for, we can say that it wasn't constructed for any casual purpose. Only something very important to the ancients would have been worth the effort and investment that it took to construct Stonehenge.
