Stonehenge

  Posted by Griffin. Yesterday we went to Stonehenge. We had kind of been dreading this visit because we have had very bad experiences with large tourist destinations, for example the Vatican. However we decided to go mainly because it is so famous, and we felt like we had to go. But as soon as we got there we realized that it was amazing. First, for some reason there was nobody there. Solstice is tomorrow, so the Wiccans arrive at sunset tonight, and there are going to be 40,000 of them! Yes, 40,000 Wiccans and druids come to Stonehenge every year. I can see why they do, Stonehenge is so old,it is 5,000 years old by recent estimates, and it really invokes a sense of peace. Stonehenge has been one of my favorite destinations and I would make it a must for anyone in England.

I thought I would come home with a British accent

Posted by Leo. I love how the people in England all have accents and say different words than us in the States like mate, cheers, rubbish, and many more fun words. I have started using some of these such as mate and rubbish.

My dream is to be British and have their accent because it’s different and I would stand out at home. When I left on this trip I thought I would come home with a British accent but it doesn’t seem it will turn out that way. If you can find a British accent on eBay please text me.

I always thought that if I had a British accent I would become like James Bond or Sherlock Holmes. They have good accents and guns and are cool. As a younger kid I wanted to become a spy and I tried to use a British accent but it always ended up sounding Australian like the Clone Troopers. They don’t have bad accents but it’s not as good as the British.
