Avebury and Stonehenge

Today was a great day! I took the bus to Avebury, England to see a Neolithic henge monument, and to see Stonehenge. It was a couple hours from Swansea, so it wasn't too far. I didn't know too much about the Avebury before I got their but I feel like I have learned so much :) The stones were massive, and weighed about 100 tons (7 elephants) and they were all positioned in such a precise way, they've been there for thousands of years. Avebury has the biggest stone circle in Europe. And Stonehenge was just like a scene from a movie... Anyways here's some pics*



I love how there are sheep everywhere!






St. James in Avebury, It was beautiful and I love the cemetery's  here, they are incredible.
