Our entire group went on a trip to Stratford and Warwick Castle this weekend. We saw a very compelling production of "Richard III" and toured homes where Shakespeare and his family lived. Every bit as importantly, we also made the acquaintance of a beautiful barn owl named Banquo! We also saw precious little pigs...and the house where Shakespeare was born.























































At Warwick Castle, there was much to behold, such as a stained glass window inscribed with "Dudley," a dungeon (see Rebecca checking out some kind of torture device). We also climbed a dark, uneven spiral staircase for what seemed like an eternity, though the view was worth it!
