It's day two here in Stratford and it can't getting any better. We started the day with a nice breakfast at The Falcon. The only thing strange about the meal was that it came with beans, and Seth and I have never had that with breakfast. After our nice meal, we headed toward Shakespears house. What surprised me was that you could easily walk by without realizing its importance. The house is just planted on one the side streets. Inside, everything was really small. The doors, beds, and rooms were tiny. Our guide said that the Shakespeare family was very wealthy, including The Hathaway Family. The tour was very fun and soon after we went into the Hathaway families home. Thier cottage was similar in style, but seemed a little bigger. Later on, we found some cool shops and had dinner at Encore, which was a more modern restuarante. To end our day, we saw Measure for Measure at the Royal Shakespeare Company. I really enjoyed the play, and was impressed by the actors ability to memorize their lines. It was really neat to see what the old theater would be like, we felt very close to the actors as they performed.
