Stonehenge, England

Stonehenge is one of those places i have wanted to go since i was young. I have been told my some not to waste my time, that it was largely a disappointment, but I was still determined to go. Fortunately for me, my friend's family owns a house in the country, and when they go out there they always go past Stonehenge. So, on our way there, we got to stop.

The moment i saw it was so excited and could hardly believe this moment i had dreamed of so long had finally come true. Just the mystery behind it all, all the myths, how they got the stones there, where the stones came from, what the purpose of them were...all of it excited the historian in me.

To get to the actual site you have to pay, and then they give you a free audio guide. To enter you have to go underground, under the street, which was a first. Then you walk around the path stopping at the numbered boxes as the audio guide instructs. Some people may not think it worth the stop, but I do. I was very glad to have the chance to see it for myself and have a walk around it.

Overall, it was just a very fulfilling moment, a life long dream come to reality.
