So it's been a fun few days! Yesterday, the isa group took a 2 hour bus ride to Stratford upon Avon and Warwick Castle!
Stratford upon Avon is the city William Shakespeare grew up and died in. It was really cool to see all the historical sights and artifacts that was in the town. We got to tour Shakespeare's house and see everything that was in it. We also got to see his grave, where he was baptised and his house where he retired. It was kind of crazy to think that I saw some of the most important milestones in Shakespeare's life. The town he lived it was really cute too. Caity and I are planning on visiting it again!

The next place we went to was Warwick Castle. The people who owned it sold it in the 70's to Madame Tussauds and they created it to be an attraction. They made the rooms look like they were still being lived in with wax figures and other things laying around the rooms. In one of the rooms they were having a tea party and in other rooms they had Daisy getting her dress altered and other things like that. They also had a peacock garden which was kind of scary. Caity was more scared though hahaa.

There was also a Princess thing going on in one of the wings of the castle. Caity and I waited outside for the next round to start and this lasy came out and she sort of looked like us like idios and said that Princess time was only for little girls ages 4-8. We we're like uhh okay this is embarrassing..
Unfortch, my camera died so I only got a few pics from the castle. I made Caity take more pictures the usual so I could steal them. hehe..
Anyways, it was a super fun day and I would love to go back before I leave for America!
Cheers!
