Hey are any of you reading this? I haven't had any comments lately!!!! Okay, just in case some of you are reading this, here is an update on what we have been doing.
We have been travelling in our campervan driving to see some different things. Yesterday we saw this cool place called Avebury, where there are lots of standing stones put up by stone age people. That is 5000 years ago, or about 3000 BCE, just about the same age as Stonehenge.
Avebury has a long avenue of standing stones and a giant stone circle with two smaller circles inside it. Each small circle once had a cool thing in the middle of it--a giant obelisk in one (get Mrs Strickler or Mrs Ford or Ms Goudie to help you with that one), but the obelisk fell down a long time ago and they only knew about it from drawings and marks in the earth. You have to remember that when they put these stones up, the wheel wasn't even invented yet!!!! Imagine being an engineer in charge of getting those stones put up in exactly the right place--not easy.
I can't get to my camera right now, but when I do I'll add photos. Don't be shy, send me a comment!!
