Saturday 2/6- Waking up early was bittersweet- the excitement of our first day trip, about a 2 hour coach drive away, and my tiredness! The agenda: Stratford Upon Avon and Warwick Castle. To inform ya’ll…Stratford upon Avon is William Shakespeare’s birth and homeplace. ROMEO & JULIET IS MY FAVORITE LOVE STORY OF ALL TIME, so it was sweet bring there!
It’s a market, shopping, and leisure town dating back to 800 years ago with buildings that are still alive today. I saw Shakespeare’s birthplace, as well as his mom’s.
It cost too much money to do the tours of the houses, so I didn’t decide to do that. Louis (met her in my bio class) and I had a fun time exploring the town. When we first got there, we ate at “The Food for Love,” (line form Twelfth Night) in which we had yummy paninis.

We then headed another half hour to Warwick Castle, a medieval castle in Warwickshire, that is right beside the River Avon. It was built by William the Conqueror in 1068. It was really neat exploring the outside and inside of the castle. We had 3 hours there, which was too much, so Louis & I sat and talked in the restaurant of the castle.
I think only pictures can explain the beauty of the castle…
