Salisbury Cathedral-Wilton House-Stonehenge!


Today we went to Salisbury Cathedral, the tallest in England.
Cool architectural details :)
This is part of the beautiful courtyard in the middle of the grounds.



This was our tour guide, haha, he was a little speedy man. He would explain something too us with lots of excitement, and then he would say "moving along now!" and then he would like run over to the next place in the cathedral that he wanted to explain to us, it was pretty funny. It definitely made the tour more exciting though. Usually things like that are always better when the person who is doing the explaining is passionate about the subject. :)

There were these cool engravings when we started our climb up into the spire. I forgot/I'm not really sure what they meant, but they were carved by the people who built the original cathedral.
Getting higher into the spire.
The higher we got, the more internal support there seemed to be to make sure the walls didn't collapse in. Kind of nerve racking, but pretty awesome looking at the same time.
Craaazy little spiral staircases we climbed up.
At last, the view from above! What a beautiful little city!

STONEHENGE!! :)
Just some sketching

Yeah... about this, haha. So first of all Laura wanted try and stand of my feet and have me push her up in the air or something...but of course, that didn't really work out. So then Benae asks me if I can give her an airplane, so I did. And then Laura decides she wants to do that too, so I did it for her (their pictures were pretty cool, haha) But then afterwards everyone convinced me to try it as well, so here I am.... doing the airplane... in front of Stonehenge. Cool right?.... I mean, this has always been my dream afterall...
(Laura, looks like crossfit has paid off for you afterall ;) )
