Originally I must admit that I hated france, this may have been because of someone trying to steal my friends purse, and thus i was forced to knock out and have a frenchmen jailed within my first 2 hours of being in the country, but was more likely because I had to baby sit two very annoying and nervous country girls who were afraid of the big city having come from the middle of nowhere.

Spending a day walking around the area that is roughly 800 years old, and has educated some of the most brillian minds of the past and of our time is an interesting experience. Never in my life have I felt so average in my intelligence, and insignifcant in world affairs, not to mention how much of a speck Grand Valley State is on the back of an elephant.

You see during the Roman era of occupation of England the filthy ri...

A pity that such a beautiful place as stonehenge had to be criss crossed by highways passing by on either side of the monument, and also a pitty at the ridiculously large number of tourists getting in the way. It is a miracle that stone henge has survived this long being roughly 4,500 years old, but none the less it seems as if the british don't honor it as they should. Yes they put ropes around the perimeter so people dont step on the remains and artifacts burie...
