Day trip!

Today was so much fun! Professor Hargrove, her 2 boys, Stephanie and I took the train out to Salisbury again and - as noted - we rented a car. We ended up getting a Saab 9-3, which was really nice. They gave it to us for the price of the VW Golf, so we got a really good deal. We drove out to Avebury and ate lunch then walked around the stone circle that surrounds the town. I took a ton of PICTURES - the funny thing is that a lot of them are of sheep! When you're walking around the circle, there are all these sheep. You are literally in a FIELD of them. They are just wandering around, there is sheep poop everywhere. There are a couple of really funny pictures of sheep itching themselves on the rocks. I mean - these are from 2050 BC! The sheep certainly don't seem to care.

We went to Stonehenge again & made her 13 year old son's whole trip. He's been dreaming of seeing it forever. So we walked around there, then headed back to Salisbury and took the train back to London, during which I got a specialized study session with the professor. It was great to talk about the issues in the cases with her. Then we all went out for Indian food for dinner. All around just a really fun day all around. Tomorrow morning is our finals - I think I'm ready. I am concerned about making them of a good quality, but at this point, I'm just ready to plop it all down & be done with it.

Day after tomorrow - Paris! I don't know how often I'll have internet access, but I assure you - I'll update my blog as often as I can & share pictures with you all.
