Day 3!!! Still unbelievable...

Today is day three of our trip (minus the travel day) and I can't believe how incredible it has been. We have already seen so much. I feel like we have been here multiple days, and yet I'm already dreading leaving. Yesterday was an absolutely amazing day! I loved seeing the Shakespeare properties and Anne Hathaway's cottage. Then, Measure for Measure was phenomenal. The acting was amazing. I don't think I've ever seen better acting. It was one of the best shows I've seen. After the show, I was in awe. I just sat in my seat for about 5 minutes just trying to digest it. Katie and I talked about it all night. We also met a British couple last night in the hotel. The woman was a casting director for the National Theatre, and the man was an actor. We talked to them for about two hours. They told us which shows to see and what sites to visit. We had such a great time talking with them. It was one of the best experiences I've had! They were really "lovely" (to use their word). I've been journaling every day and taking a thousand pictures. I don't want to forget any of the amazing experiences I've had on this trip. Today we saw Kenilworth Castle, the Coventry Cathedral, and Warwick Castle. They were all beautiful and unforgettable. Warwick Castle was breath taking. The scenery and views were incredible. It was also really fun climbing all the towers and looking through the rooms. I can't even begin to describe in words some of the experiences and sites we've seen. You have to see them to really understand. I am so thankful to be here to see the sites, learn about the culture, and just take in as much as possible in the next two weeks. I already feel I have made lasting friendships that will continue once we are back at Otterbein. I cannot wait for the days to come! :) -Molly Sullivan
