Going to See Sting's House - A Story in Five Pictures

More visual storytelling examples can be found here - I do love a storytelling challenge.


Obviously, going to see Sting's house was not the sole purpose of our journeys today.  We took a day trip to Salisbury and Stonehenge.  Aside from giving its name to delicious steaks, Salisbury seems like a lovely place to live.  We visited the cathedral (I think that brings my Anglican church count up to 4), had lunch, then drove out to Stonehenge.

I'll admit it - it's very impressive.  We had an incredibly informative tour guide who actually helped with an excavation dig in the area within the last 10 years.  If you're in the States, you can watch this NOVA feature for more information.

One of the sad things about being in London is that so very many websites or services are restricted to the States: Pandora, Hulu, any TV station sites that play video.  What a hardship.

Our guide often referred to the main purpose of Stonehenge as a place of trade, not only of goods, but also young people between communities.  I had never thought about this necessity for ancient peoples - I daresay everyone had some sense of the dangers of inbreeding the human race.  I can just imagine the courtship that would happen in this area... just like the Assembly Rooms in Bath for Jane Austen.  Exact same thing. :-)
