    It really should ALL be present tense because as you can see from the pictures, the stones are there right now :P

    So instead of "there were benches" you need to say "there are benches" etc etc..

    Thanks Nomilynn

    I didn't want to recreate her passages.....why, I don't know. But, yes, I would elect to use present tense throughout - just didn't say it! Thanks for saying it the correct way!

    I will change the sentences to present tense.
