On the sixth we went to a town called Stratford-upon-Avon. It might not sound familiar, but if it does it’s because Shakespeare was born there! We had to wake up really early to go there, but it was worth it in the end.
The library group basically went to see a Shakespeare play at the Royal Shakespeare Company called “As You Like It.” I did like it, in fact. Before that, though, we had lots of time to explore Stratford, which holds many historical wonders and also other little shops and stuff.
We went to a couple of bookstores and did some other light shopping before heading over to the Shakespaw Cat Cafe… which did in fact have real cats.
I didn’t take any notes or anything because I was very focused on the cats and the theater, so this is about all I have. I did definitely enjoy myself!
