This weekend my entire London program went to Stratford-Upon-Avon and stayed in a Bed and Breakfast. When I walked into my room for the weekend, I was quickly reminded of our weekend in Canton one year at Rose and Henry's. The walls, curtains, and bed sheets were all green and covered with flowers.
A coach picked us up outside Vandon House early friday morning for our journey to begin.
On our way to Stratford, we stopped by Warwick Castle for a few hours. We toured in and around the castle grounds while it rained off and on.
Once we made it to Stratford we took a walking tour around town to see where Shakespeare lived and was burried. As usual, it was raining the entire time. We went to see the Royal Shakespeare Company put on their version of A Midsummer Night's Dream. One of the main characters in the play was in the Mummy Returns, so that was a neat expereince.
Saturday we went to the Cotswolds (where The Holiday was filmed). We got to see how beautiful the English countryside really is. We spent lunch in Bourton-on-the-Water, another small town in the Cotswolds, and did a little bit of shopping.
Sunday while on our way back to London, we stopped by Oxford. We got to walk around the various colleges in Oxford and see where parts of the Harry Potter movies were filmed.
Classes start tomorrow, that means I have to get up early! I am not looking forward to this!
