Over our second weekend of independent travel, several groups set out towards western England to further experience the rich history of this country. One group went to Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare, to see his grave, his church, and a performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream by the Royal Shakespeare Company.
Those looking to experience something a little more... well, ancient, took a day-trip to Salisbury and nearby Stonehenge. The 3500 year old monument, even as it lies in partial ruin today, is still an awe-inspiring sight.
One unexpected surprise that we encountered on the way to Salisbury was platform 9 and 3/4 at King's Cross station in London. Massive hordes of middle school girls posed to have their pictures taken with Harry Potter's luggage trolley vanishing into the brick wall, but despite their favorable numbers, Steve Merry was able to sneak his way in for a quick photo. These unfortunately are stock photos. I hope to have ours up soon.
Cheers,
