Welcome to Stratford-upon-Avon

As we headed north through England we spent the afternoon in Stratford-upon-Avon.  It is a typical small English town and of course it is the birthplace of William Shakespeare.  We toured the city on foot and visited his birthplace and home as well as the Shakespeare museum. Take a look at the style of houseboats that are prevalent there.  It was beautiful weather and a fun afternoon.
