A random day trip to Salisbury the other day. Somewhere I was sure I had been to before, but nothing looked familiar. Is my mind playing tricks on me? I do now think this was my first time here. And I liked Salisbury - an attractive little city with a big cathedral, a smattering of history and a nice location. If I was better organized, I would have gotten here early and combined a trip to the cathedral with a trip to Stonehenge - but instead I stuck to the town centre and especially at the cathedral, where I had signed up for the tower tour. And that was more than enough, and I was glad I did the tour, particularly since the cathedral also happens to have one of the oldest working clocks in the world, one of the tallest spires in the country, and one of the last surviving original copies of the Magna Carta. You just don't get anything close to this in the US. I took way too many photos - I'll aim to add some to this post later (Monday?).
