Daytrip to Warwick Castle, Stratford-upon-Avon, etc.

Hello everyone!

Me on top of the tower of Warwick Castle.  Look at the greenery behind me, gorgeous!

Wednesday was our group's first day trip (we have one every Wed.) and for our first trip we toured Warwick Castle, Stratford-Upon-Avon, Shakespeare's Home, Shakespeare's Grave, Anne Hathaway's (Shakespeare's wife) home & for the finale we saw 'Romeo & Juliet' performed by the Royal Shakespearean Company.  Although the day was bitterly cold during our tour of Warwick Castle, it warmed up & the sunshine came out a little bit. 

We first toured Warwick Castle, a true castle from the Medieval times.  Our group had some free time to walk around the castle and explore.  We had either a choice of a) looking at the gardens or b) walking up into the tower inside Warwick castle.  Me, being a smart person, I chose to walk into the tower to get some pictures from up top.  BAD LIFE CHOICE!  By the top of the tower I wanted to pass out BUT when I got up there the whole sight was beautiful!  There were a ton of little houses, buildings and fields of green.  It was great!

Also during the day my group got some free time to visit Stratford-upon-Avon.  It was the cutest little town ever!  It was a bunch of little cobblestone streets filled with rows of old homey cottage shops, restaurants and so on.  I tried to take numerous pictures of everything I saw so I hope you enjoy them.  The link @ the bottom of the page will direct you to my pictures.

Pictures!

For the first day trip I had a ton of fun! I am getting to know people better and better, which is making the adjustment into London easier.  Also, it is fun having people to share these experiences with although everytime I go somewhere I always think, "Oh my mom would love this place," or it reminds me of someone from home.  But for now, I am loving London and excited to see more.

Oh and guess what else?  Friday morning I get to go to Camden Market!  Expect pictures of what I saw AND what I bought =]
