We first went to Bath. It is called Bath because there is a natural hot mineral spring there and so the Romans who liked to be clean built a bath house over it. It had hot, tepid, and cold areas for bathing and was actually kind of a social recreation club. It was thought to promote good health. It kind of got buried over and forgotten and then they rediscovered it in the 18th century.
Bath is also a city where they only let people build buildings out of stone. So it looks really cool.
They also filter some of the water and say that it has healing properties.
Then we went to Salisbury Cathedral. It is a medieval Gothic Cathedral. And has the tallest spire in England (402 ft). We didn't get to see as much as I would've liked as it was a Sunday and they were having services. I got to stay in a bit of one service and heard the boy's choir which was awesome. We were leaving early so I couldn't stay.
Then we rode on to Stonehenge. Interesting place. Just off the road. I didn't feel any psychic vibrations or messages from aliens or anything in case anyone was wondering.

you're hilarious. i laughed out loud several times during this post. the video was especially humorous. i'm glad the miles of separation don't change your...well...um...witty (maybe) sense of humor - or your insatiable thrist for diet beverages.
