Well, I can think of one weird disappointment - Stonehenge. This isn't lack of gratitude at all - I wouldn't trade having been able to go for anything, because it's Stonehenge and intellectually that means something to me. But I think I expected to be touched spiritually or something, when in truth, it was bitter cold and we couldn't get up close. :( Not the deep, profound moment I'd been hoping for. I've heard it was like that when you could actually get closer.

I once saw a satyr sitting on one of the stones at Stonehenge -- honestly, he looked just like Nijinsky in his L'apres-midi d'un faune costume -- and I looked around to see if anyone else had noticed him, but when I looked back he'd turned into a policeman.

I later used the experience in a fanfic...

Oooh, Nijinsky, in that costume.....

And they were very different experiences. They had very different feels to them. The first time, it felt weirdly still, almost eerie. The second time I felt very detached. The distance does make a difference.

AYRT

That's what I've heard - even an older friend warned me before I went that it wouldn't be the same thing.

The one time I went, when I was about fourteen, I was lucky enough to get into one of the tours that went inside the circle. It must've been a weekday, and it was morning and our small group was there alone. It was foggy, quiet, beautiful, and immensely spiritual. It was everything I was hoping it to be.

Now I am so glad I didn't see it from afar, or in a day with bad weather or something.

When I went there were billions of tiny spiders and it was windy so they got blown off the fence they were climbing on and all over me like ants.

The grass was actually cool to look at because it was covered in these strands of web that were shiny. I ended up getting some good photos, but overall, I was cold and covered in spiders.

:(

disappointing indeed!! I've never been myself, but it sounds so amazing..

I feel so lucky that I got to see Stonehenge when you could still walk around the stones and touch them. We were visiting my dad in Paris that Christmas and I begged him to take us to Stonehenge for the Solstice. My brother thought I was being stupid, but later told me that going there was one of the best experiences of his life. It was cold, gray, and damp and it just felt eerily wonderful to be out there with these stones that had been there for thousands of years. Oddly, I wasn't thinking of Neolithic people or Druids when we were there -- I kept remembering that scene in Tess of the D'Urbevilles. Definitely something I'll never forget.

I've been twice, once when you could get up close and once after.
