The Shakespeare home

We took the train into Stratford and wandered about for a few hours. The highlight of the visit has to be the home in which Shakespeare grew up. There's a museum nearby, detailing the life and times of Shakespeare, and the storied history of his home following his passing. In general, we felt that the few hours we spent here were about right for the location.

The Garrick Inn

Named after a Shakespearian actor, we took this photo because we thought that it captured the Tudor "feel".

For teddy bear lovers

Who would have expected a teddy bear museum here? It was a struggle to keep Michelle from pulling us inside.
