Some photos and stories from the my 2nd time in London, there was pleny of action, the snow storm of a generation, a weekend in Dublin, and some sightseeing in Stonehedge, Windsor Castle, and Oxford University

Daytrip to Stonehedge

Now Stonehedge is in the middle of nowhere near Amesbury.  It is a World Heritage Site now, which means that it is protected.  But in the 1970's the stones where private property and a large amount of the stones where sold off to whoever wanted to buy it.  So now only maybe 1/3 of the original stones are left.  

You are no longer allowed to touch the stones, or lean on them, but you can still take photos and I was lucky that we had good weather and the sun was out :D

Ok now off to Oxford University!
