Biking & Stratford

Well the sun is shining here in London town which means people our out having picnics, walking their dogs, playing with their kids, jogging, paddle-boarding (you get the picture). And we are out biking in Hyde Park! It was so nice to just rent bikes for free for 30 minutes in the park and ride by the Serpentine river. Check out how cool we look below too..I think we are all just ecstatic to be taking pictures without our big coats on finally!

Friday we took a half day trip to Stratford upon Avon. We saw Shakespeare's birthplace, the house he lived in and his grave site. Shakespeare was such a genius and prodigy for his time and it was neat to be right at the place where he thought of such radical ideas. I loved learning more about his marriage, his family, his thoughts and overall just his life.
Also Stratford was a really cute little town that we had fun just wandering around. Then that night we got to see King Lear at the Royal Shakespeare Company. I must admit it was a LONG play-3 hrs & 20 minutes, but I did my best to appreciate it and the acting was incredible. So that was our last bus ride trip together as a group-kind of bittersweet...
