Salisbury and the Infamous Stonehenge.

Yesterday was a nice little day trip to see Stonehenge and the nearby town of Salisbury. Stonehenge was very neat, but there is really very little to see. You just do a lap around it, take a bunch of pictures, and then you're done. It takes like ten minutes. I'm glad I saw it and can now check it off my list of things to see, but I have no desire to go see it again.

Salisbury is a rather boring town, really. We went mainly to go see the Salisbury Cathedral, which was amazing. And to get lunch.
We had lunch at an awesome pub called Haunch of Venison. The whole place felt like a funhouse because it was so old and everything was tilted just a little. The food there was excellent. I finally got some traditional British bangers and mash, as per uncle David's request. :)

Salisbury Cathedral is old and beautiful and awesome. It was built in like the 13th century and has the tallest spire in Britain or something. I don't know exactly. But it was really tall. And it was leaning one way quite a bit, which made it terrifying to stand under. It was just gorgeous inside and had lots of incredible stained glass, of course. We also saw in the cathedral the nicest of four existing original copies of the Magna Carta. That was neat. 

The only thing I hated about the cathedral was that it has random pieces of modern art throughout it, which just didn't seem right to me. There were a whole bunch of sculptures by a guy named Sean Henry. They were just sculptures of people chillin' in random places around the cathedral. Sorry, brother, but your sculptures sucked.
