Well. This is it. I knew this day was coming, but I did not think it would be here so fast. Yes, we still have the rest of today left in Stratford-upon-Avon, but this is my last post. Ending the trip here in Stratford-upon-Avon feels perfect. It has been a nice place to get a …

King Lear in Stratford-upon-Avon
This is my first blog post while in Stratford-upon-Avon. I will hold off on too much regarding the town because our next prompt relates to the subject. We have already watched two shows here in town at Royal Shakespeare Company in The Other Place theatre. Today, as you can tell by the title, I will …
Playing Director and Costume Designer: Victoria and Albert Museum!
We are not going to talk about how I will no longer be in this beautiful city in a few days, okay? Instead, let us focus our attention on today’s blog prompt and location. We visited the Victoria and Albert Museum. We were supposed to go through the theatre exhibit, but it was closed. However, …

My Long Day’s Journey Into Night

Westminster Abbey and Dead People
I have been waiting this whole trip for Westminster Abbey. I might not know a lot about architecture, but boy do I love me a dramatic gothic structure. I was under the impression we were not allowed to take pictures in most of the locations, but found that photography was allowed as long as there …
Much Ado About Nothing and Shakespeare’s Globe!
One of the things I was most excited for was getting to experience Shakespeare’s Globe here in London. The icing on the cake is the fact that I got to experience Much Ado About Nothing, my all time favorite play of Shakespeares.

I Took A Shot At Bath.
Yes, I did take a shot at Bath, England. Specifically in the Roman Baths. Why? Well, I was parched and needed a sip of the good and magical stuff. What is the good and magical stuff? I am glad you asked! I took a shot of the Roman Baths spa water along with Killian. We …
Borough Market and Yummy Food!
Today’s attraction was Borough Market! It was bustling and very crowded as we arrived during lunch time. Not only is this a massive area to get delicious food from nearly every culture and country you can think of: it has existed for a millennium! In its beginning, Borough Market was located one end of the …
