[October 22] Daytrip to Stratford Upon Avon

Oh HI SHAKEY SHAKE SHAKESPEARE!

I have to say, I really, really like this pictures of myself lol:


Well! Here we have another day all about Shakes-Master. A group of IES students took a daytrip to Stratford Upon Avon. "Upon Avon" just means that the city of Stratford is right next to the river Avon. But it sounds fancy, right?

Now, at the very beginning of the day, we visited Shakespeares house. We went to a museum where they showed a wax stamp on a ring that had the initials WS on it, and since it was found by a church in Stratford, they decided that "It is quite possible that this was Shakespeare's ring." So the rest of the day... the joke was "It is quite possible this, or It is quite possible that". 


 This is Anne. She is known for her cute sweaters.

This is Becky. She is really famous because she's in a super cool band called Snightseeing.

This is me, being me:
 

This is the church that Shakespeare is buried in, along with other people related to him:









We had lunch and I ordered broccoli soup but it was literally hot broccoli water. Disgusting and I couldn't eat it. Then we went to Mary Arden's farm.... Shakespeare's mom. It was cool but honestly I am used to animals so I wasn't as fascinated as some of the others were.
 




However, I loved the horse. So peaceful. I really want to learn how to ride a horse!


And later... this is the view I had from my dorm window:
