Today we arrived in Stratford-upon-Avon where we visited Anne Hathaways cottage! It was the cutest little cottage surrounded by a lush garden. Much of the home contained original pieces and architecture. The rooms were small, the roof short, and the view magnificent! It was a treat to experience the area where Shakespeare met and wed his wife. We learned about his origins and his early career as a writer. The cottage was as romantic as his plays!

The rooms were preserved to represent the original secre...

On our second day we took a hop on hop off bus tour through the city. We saw the local hangouts, th...

We had a bight to eat, toured the area, and were on our way. We visited an ancient castle before concluding our journey through Wales. This r...
