My best friend and I went to England and Italy for two weeks after we graduated last March. Needless to say we had the times of our lives. These two pictures were taken in Salisbury, England. I smile every time I look at them.
We were staying in London and decided to go see Stonehenge for a day trip. We took a train, which we fell asleep on, and almost didn’t make it off at our stop in time. We walked through town and finally made it to the bus station where we’re informed that we just missed the last bus to Stonehenge seconds before. Of course, we can only laugh. These two men, with their brilliant accents, tell us no worries that we can just go see castle ruins instead. We buy our bus tickets and the gentlemen directed us toward our bus. So we’re wondering how we’ll know when to get off, seeing as the lady driver really doesn’t tell you which stop is for what. But we really can’t even think about it because we’re so excited to be on one of those big red double decker buses. All of the sudden, we’re in the middle of nowhere and the driver screams in a harsh British accent “Castle stops here”. We look at each other and just get off the bus. There are no signs pointing us in the right direction and we have no idea where we are, or why we were just let off in the middle of nowhere. We wander around and end up in a pasture where sheep were roaming. Seeing as where I grew up, if a stranger is caught on your property, they’re usually greeted with a shotgun, I was scared to death we were on someone’s private property. We eventually strolled up on the castle ruins. It was beautiful! Even though the day didn’t go at all as planned we got some great laughs and photos out of it.
