Day 4 – A Purrfect Excursion

“All the world’s a stage, 
And all the men and women merely players; 
They have their exits and their entrances; 
And one man in his time plays many parts, 
His acts being seven ages.” 
― William Shakespeare, As You Like It

On this day, we journeyed outside of London to the quaint town of Stratford-upon-Avon.  Our activity for the day was seeing Shakespeare’s As You Like It.  However, the day was also filled with exploring.  These little towns hold so many hidden treasures and historic gems.  Breakfast nooks, antique malls, bookstores, churches, and an exceptional cat café were the locations our exploring led us to.  It was lovely and quiet and a well needed rest from the business of the city.  Enjoy these pictures below from our day in Stratford-upon-Avon.

PS: Library students in London always get into financial trouble at bookstores.

What could be more perfect for me than a cat café in England?
