Stratford-Upon-Shakespeare

Stratford

Shakespeare's hometown isn't actually (quite) as commercialized as you'd expect. Of course, there are ungodly expensive exhibits, such as Shakespeare's house. But you can see it from outside and that's pretty enough. Honor Shakespeare by going to his grave, which is free...not counting the guilting church employees asking for donations, of course. There are also some nice statues of four Shakespeare characters (Hamlet, Lady Macbeth, Henry V, Falstaff) by the river Avon. And Stratford itself is a cute and nice small town on its own.

I was going to write thoughts on some recent Shakespeare performances...but I have suddenly lost the will. That for later, maybe.

Did you see the Shakespeare impersonator walking around while you were there? I don't know if this a false memory but he may have been a metallic color.
