Yesterday we went to Salisbury and saw the Cathedral, the majority of which was built between 1220 and 1258. It is really hard to imagine how something so large, something so tall could be built in such a short time without the heavy machinery used today.
Just in case that was not enough to marvel at for one day, we drove a short way North to Stonehenge. I had not realized that the stones were carved to lock together. The large upright stones had bumps carved in the top of them and the lintels had pockets carved into them. On the outer ring, the sides of the lintels were also carved to lock into each other.
Slightly less impressive than the building of the Salisbury Cathedral or of Stonehenge, was my driving without accident on the left side of the road while changing gears with my left hand.
