In August, Shelley and I finally made it to Stonehenge, which was a bucket list thing for us and wow… it’s hard to put into words what it felt like to stand there. We’ve seen it in books and on TV, but being there in person was something completely different.

The stones are massive much bigger than we imagined. We walked around them trying to imagine how  did people thousands of years ago move and arrange these giant stones.

What struck us the most was the atmosphere. Even with lots of people visiting the site, there was this quiet hush, like everyone was quietly sharing in the same amazement.

It was  an amazing experience to walk around Stonehenge and see those huge stones laid out in a specific way. For us it was a reminder of how small we are in the grand sweep of history, and how precious time is.
