Tears incoming
I don’t know how to begin to describe this trip and what it has done for me as a person. So I’m not even going to try for fear of uncontrollable crying.
Stratford was perfect.
You know how “hole in the wall” restaurants are always the best? That’s how I would describe Stratford Upon Avon. A perfect little town in the world, rich with history and impossible to be disappointed by it.
This place is just so peaceful compared to the hustle and bustle of the city. Don’t get me wrong, I loved London more than anything and will live there one day, but Stratford just brought out such a content and lovely feeling that I dont think I’ve ever felt before.
As we all know I have a slight obsession with Shakespeare so being here was like meeting my biggest idol in a way. Standing on the floors he stood on, seeing the same things that he saw, it’s actually crazy and I don’t think I’ve processed it quite yet.
I am so so thankful that we ended our trip here. It makes me so emotional knowing that places like this exist, because in a way, it just reminds me how little of a bubble we are in, and there are so many things to explore in this world and I want to see them all.
Merry Wives of Windsor was actually incredible. I think I understood it more than any other Shakespeare play we’ve seen ( in terms of the ones I wasn’t super familiar with). It was so funny and all the actors were just so top tier. Their comedic timing was so good and I felt like I was watching a Sitcom. Such a happy feeling in that room the whole time.
But for such a small town it feels so big when were here because of how many things there are to experience.
And minus our room being slightly too small for 3 girls with a LOT of luggage :))))))) HA (my fault), I loved the Bed and Breakfast experience! I loved eating with everyone every morning and it just felt like we were all able to connect more than being seperated in a hotel. And the hosts were just the sweetest people ever. All of the people here were just so nice and SO british I love it so much. I am going to miss the Brits way too much. I want to be one.
As far as this trip was as a whole, life changing is an understatement. I am so grateful and so overwhelmed with happiness. I don’t know how else to put it because there really aren’t words to describe the feelings inside me.
All I can say is I’m going to miss it every day till I come back.
I love you all, thanks for the trip of a lifetime. 🙂
And yes, I am now uncontrollably crying.
