Stratford-Upon-Avon June 19th I have really enjoyed Stratford-Upon-Avon. London was thrilling and busy, but I prefer a more peaceful atmosphere. I got to experience some of England’s famous rainy days. There was an abundance of vegetation and flowers. The buildings were brick and had lower ceilings. It reminded me of my love for the country …

Hi guys! Today is a hard post to make because it’s our last day in the UK. I can’t believe just how quickly the time has passed, and how much I enjoyed my time here. I will reminisce on my London thoughts later in this post, so for now let’s just talk about my day. …
Stratford-Upon-Avon: Shakespeare & Kitty-tea

There is no place like home
Blog Post: Stratford-upon-Avon By Isaac Overman June 19 2022 I come from a small town, a much smaller town than Stratford.

At the beginning of the Theatre and Performance section of the Victoria and Albert Museum, you’re greeted with two rooms that contain quiet relics related to ballet dance. It surprised me, honestly, that so much of the exhibit was dedicated to the study of ballet because it’s not something that I immediately associate with theatre, …
