'Friends, Romans, countrymen ...'

Ok, so its been awhile since I've had a chance to post a new blog entry ... its been a busy few weeks to say the least! Rick and Sharon arrived shortly after the last entry (back from their trip to Scotland). We planned a lot of stuff to do and we sure did keep busy while they were visiting. One of the first places we went was Stratford-Upon-Avon, otherwise known as the home of William Shakespeare and his wife Anne Hathaway. We took the red bus tour which was perfect for a town this size; we were able to hop on and off at all of the sites we wanted to see which included: Shakespeare's birthplace, Anne Hathaway's cottage, Mary Redden's house (his mother)...we also wandered along the River Avon and in and out of many cute shops.



We also ate lunch at the Windmill, the oldest pub in Stratford where Shakespeare used to hang out, apparently. Rick also had his picture taken with Hamlet and we visited Holy Trinity church where Shakespeare is buried 17 feet below the surface.





We also visited London and I'll post another entry tomorrow from that excursion ...
