Shakespearian Stroll

We went out to Stratford-Upon-Avon today with our neighbor Jim and Tracy (a girl who was on a short work trip out here to help with Logistics). It was a pretty day, and we grabbed our passes around the historic homes and set out for a day of walking. We visited his birthplace, his wife's house, and his grave site.

It was amazing to see where he lived, wrote and worked. Most of the original furniture was still in the homes - and where pieces were missing they at least had things from the same period.
After our Shakespeare trek we had a late, late lunch in a local pub, and then took a stroll along the canal where we fed the ducks and swans. By this point the weather had turned very cold and windy, so we decided to head home before rush hour.
