Stratford upon Avon

So i'm a bit of a literary nerd. and i live about a 30-minute bus ride from Stratford upon Avon, the home of the great William Shakespeare. People support me in my nerdy habit--for Christmas, David bought me an action figure of the Bard. and this weekend, Elizabeth, my Northwestern English alumna friend, came to visit. so we all went to Stratford.

go figure it's the capitalistic mecca of everything literary. but it was fun and took my mind off of my impending thesis proposasl deadline. plus, we got to eat pasties, play with soap in Lush, drink at the oldest pub in Warwickshire and see where a man broke the Guiness Book of World Records by playing the Organ for 33 hours and 12 minutes consecutively. great country, that england:0)
