Bowie State University students and faculty were awestruck by the sight of Stonehenge during a week-long alternative spring break trip to London. The group travelled about two hours outside of London to see the historic stone monument, which dates back to 3100 BC.

And while the unemployment rate outside the town’s high walls is 25 percent, everyone lives in material comfort and without the use or need for money.
