Weekend in Stonehenge and Portsmouth

Yup so that's Stonehenge alright. There really isn't much to say other than that it was pretty cool to see something that is so incredibly famous.

This weekend we took an excursion through the programme to Stonehenge and Portsmouth which included us staying at a Holiday Inn in Portsmouth. We were supposed to visit the Naval Docks there but it was so terribly windy that they shut it down for the weekend. This caused some issues with planning but our lovely directors figured it all out.

The weekend was great but what really made it a bit less fun was the horrid wind. My goodness it was absolutely AWFUL. I swear I have never experienced such intense wind in my whole life. Especially when we checked out the beach in Portsmouth it was insane!

The girls that I roomed with at the hotel were Kendra and Cait. We had such a good time together!

After we checked in and got to our room we sat in our beds watching the Olympics. It was so great to just relax after being windswept all day.

For dinner the three of us plus Kendra's boyfriend Sean, Ben, Austin, Jazmin, Emily, Laura and Landry went to a pub called The Slug and Lettuce. Such a weird name but quality food. They did a great job accommodating for our large group which is always nice.

Once we finished eating we went back to our room, got in our pyjamas and then we had everybody from dinner (minus Emily and Laura) over to play truth or dare. It was like we were all in middle school again (the only decent part of middle school). Some of the dares involved yelling in the hallway, making prank calls and Kendra putting eyeliner and mascara on Sean.

The next day we went to the D-Day Museum which was all about World War II stuff and D-Day which was really great. It sparked a lot of really deep conversations among us. Subjects like how can people allow this to happen and that we don't do anything to help horrible issues of the modern day.

That was basically it after we saw a cathedral in Salisbury.

In the next post I will write about Hannah and Eric's birthdays (this would be unnecessarily long if I wrote about everything that's been happening here also).
