Weekend activities

On Friday night we decided to continue our "tour" of London's musicals and took the family to see Les Miserable, the longest running musical in the WORLD as they like to say. We had great seats and all enjoyed it. B thought it ran a little long and decided to take a 5 min nap in the 2nd act, but she perked up when young Cosette came onstage to sing. B has decided she wants to act and has requested acting lessons. I'll have to research that. She may arrive back in the States quoting Shakespeare with an English accent.

On Saturday, we took a drive down to Stonehenge to walk around and "appreciate" the site. I had heard mixed reviews about going, but being so close, we just had to go. It is about 1.5 hr from our house. DA and I thought "very interesting, L thought "very cool" and B - well she thought "whatever". The fact it was built 5,000 years ago was lost on her. She thinks everything around here is old, but Stonehenge is really old.

We continued on to Wells to tour the Wookey Hole caves. They are somewhat similar to Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico, but the walkways are much more primative and there is a river that runs through the caves that is 100 ft. deep. Divers were in the water and fortunately we had been warned and were not shocked at seeing something moving in the water. Guide said one lady about had a heart attack earlier when one of the divers emerged from the water while she was telling the spooky witch legend. It was a fun place to tour with the kids. Once again, it was a very old place, but B didnt seem to mind. They also age cheese in the caves which smelled pretty stinky. They are about to ship thousands of pounds of that cheese to the States, so if any of you Central Market shoppers come across cave-aged cheese from Dorset or Somerset - then we can vouch for it - definitely cave aged!
