Today we finished our 2-day hike on the Ridgeway – and sore legs and tired feet aside, this was quite an adventure! The westernmost part of the trail runs through miles of gorgeous farmland, through the Iron-Age Barbury Castle, and across wild Downs strewn with sarsen stones and burial barrows. Our journey ended in Avebury among circles of massive standing-stones (like Stonehenge, but older and bigger), where there were more people than we had seen in both days of our hike put together! From Avebury we caught a bus and a train to majestic Bath, which we’re excited to explore. A dip in the spa sounds like a fantastic idea after the Ridgeway…

Did Josh connect with any ancient Celts at Avebury – it’s totally possible. I started watching Pride and Prejudice last night in honor of your being in Bath. You are so generous to do the whole postcard thing. Love to you both – your mom/Sandy
DUDES, you are so lucky you didn’t get caught in a temporal psychic bubble of evil ancient shenanigans!! It has happened before in the late seventies as documented in the classic television show “Children of the Stones”. Phew. Good to see you two escaped the nefarious loop!
