Stratford Upon Avon

So I apologize I have not posted in awhile, but I have been very busy, plus we have had several power outages at the Vines!  But, today I went to Stratford Upon Avon with three other friends from the Vines.  For you of those who don't know, Stratford Upon Avon is the birthplace and death place of William Shakespeare!  We were originally going to go to Stonehenge, but tickets were 70 pounds round trip, so we chose the 16 pounds round trip to Oxford.

Here are some of the pictures of Stratford:


 Here is me with a statue of William Shakespeare
 This is Macbeth and me seriously contemplating the weather . . .
 Here is a poster with Shakespeare's birthplace on it.
 This was a very cute shop that I bought awesome Shakespearean post cards in!
 This was Shakespeare's birthplace, it was 20 pounds to get in so I only saw the outside.
 We went to tea at the Benson's house of Tea and this was the menu; I got The Full-afternoon tea meal.

 This was my english breakfast tea that I had with my afternoon tea meal.
 This was part of my meal; I ate half before I realized I should take a picture of it.
 This is Shakespeare's grave, which cost 50p to get into.
And these were a bunch of swans gathering around the Avon wanting breadcrumbs.

After we got back from Stratford Upon Avon we biked back to the Vines and the power was out AGAIN!!!!!! So after we freaked out a bit, we ordered several pizzas and played the best game ever, body body! It was so much fun, especially in the dark!

Needless to say, we had a great time and even though the power went out it I had a blast today.  Well I need to get off because it is late and I will be reading all day tomorrow!
Tata for now!
