Stratford-upon-Avon

I finally got to visit Stratford-upon-Avon last Saturday! I think I had high expectations since it is such a famous town, and it was a bit more ordinary than I thought it would be. Nonetheless, there are more than a few good book shops, a quaint little public library, a nice river walk, and so many cool houses. The gardens at Shakespeare's New Place were open for community days. Also, getting to spend the day with a friend made it a good trip! This time I did not see a play, and it's disappointing that the outdoor theatre, The Dell, seems to be closed this season. Perhaps the next time I visit I will see a play and visit the butterfly house.
