JUNE 25 | Stratford Upon Avon

First pic is me in front of William Shakespeare’s Birthplace. They preserved the cottage and gardens of his family from the 16th century! The downtown area by the Avon river and the Swan Theater was really beautiful. We took a jog down there and the weather was amazing! Unfortunately, we were staying a bit away from the pretty part and the locals seemed to be a bit sketchy, but we still had fun and now know where to stay if we went back. We saw Hamlet at the Swan as well. It was brilliant! ;) They wore 60′s clothes instead of the traditional Shakespearean look, which when we found that out we were disappointed, but the actors were really good.

Check out the name on the river boat above :)

Here is Beaz and I sitting on a lock. These are all over the canals in England. When the boats go through they close these gates and raise or lower the water to let them through to the next section of canal. It’s really neat. I know back in the day they actually used to use horses to pull the boats down the canals. There are swans in all the canals here too. So pretty, but they all hiss at Beasley, lol!
