Bill Shakespeare's grave
Shakespeare's Birth Home
Anne Hathaway's house (his wife) .
Today we got on the coach and drove off to retrace associates of the late William Shakespeare. I wasn't too excited about this but thought "you know what when you go to London you should go to Stratford-upon-Avon".
We begun at his mother's house, Mary Arden. It was also connected to Palmer's farm and they'd done a really good job in bringing the old farm back to the visitor. They had people dressed up, and real life animals such as; Goats, owls, falcons, pigs, sheep, geese, and roosters. One of the best parts was a guy who trained falcons for a living. He came out into a big field and started telling us about the job of training a falcon, after doing so he had the bird fly off to a nearby gate and then come back to his outstretched hand. He let a lot of us do this to as long as we asked him a question about his job. I was around the sixth person to get to have the Falcon fly onto my arm.
Our next stop was to Anne Hathaway's house, the women Shakespeare got pregnant when she was 25 later on marrying. But get this when he got her pregnant he was only 18, and there is no portraits, physical descriptions, nothing to tell us about Anne. Don't you find that interesting that the women married to the "worlds best writer/poet" didn't write anything specifically about her. Then we went to the birthplace of William and his grave in Holy trinity church. And we also walked along the Avon in Stratford. Avon is the word for river if you didn't know that.
